Actually, I erred when I said that "Carbs decrease and fat increases" -- the
opposite is true. In any event, the protein remains constant.
I've contacted the animal nutrition departments at a couple of universities,
for more information, but I'm not getting any response. I suspect that
their main focus is on the feeding of domesticated animals, so I may have to
contact someone else for this. In the meantime, if anyone has any leads,
please email me.
