To the companies seed mixtures and the dry eggfoods, on the labels for example it writes 12% protein, 5.5% fat, etc.
Can you explain what are these values mean?? Is it for the whole amount of the package?
for example... for 20 kg seed mixture bag, there is 13% protein. is for the whole package???

That is my understanding of what it means - yes.
I understand that high protein low fat is best - but again am happy for someone who is better at this to chime in.

This site says what % of fat is in seeds - so may be of help.
It appears I am wrong re canary seed, so go ahead and feed that.
