In order to help companies wishing to register feeds designed for foxes, the following
table, containing adequate nutrient contents of complete feeds is presented. It should be
noted that this table has been extrapolated from the limited information available and
cannot be considered to represent the animal's minimum and maximum tolerances. It
represents only levels that support animal performance. This table is presented for
