    Pork Meal:Pork Meal is a named meat source and a source of protein. We couldn't find an official AAFCO definition of Pork Meal.

    Ground Barley: Ground Barley is a decent quality grain. Ground Barley is an excellent source of fiber and studies show that whole grain barley can lower cholesterol. For dogs suffering from allergies, Ground Barley is an excellent grain source.

    Ground Rice:Ground Rice is a decent quality ingredient. There should be at least one meat source listed before this ingredient. It’s a decent quality ingredient but shouldn’t be the main ingredient in dog food.

    Rice Bran: Rice Bran is a by-product of Rice. Although Rice Bran doesn't offer the Nutrition Value Rice does, its not considered to be a bad ingredient. The current AAFCO definition for Rice Bran is the following:” the pericarp or bran layer and germ of the rice, with only such quantity of hull fragments, chipped, broken, or brewer's rice, and calcium carbonate as is unavoidable in the regular milling of edible rice."

    Chicken Fat: : Chicken Fat is going to be the main source of Fat in this ingredient. Chicken Fat is a named Fat and a decent source of Fat. Ingredients listed before this one usually make up the bulk of the recipe.
