*NFC Rating refers to Non-Fiber Carbohydrates. This is the starches and grains, energy which comes primarily from grain.
**WP Digestibility refers to Whole Plant Digestibility. This is the proportion of the plant utilized. The higher the value, the less waste there is.
***NDF refers to Neutral Detergent Fiber. This is the measure of the digestibility of the fiber portion of the plant. The higher the number, the greater the fiber digestibility.
