This can simply not be true... How can a organism loose 90% more of its protein by freezing it as opposed to freeze drying it? Your lamb chops do not loose 90% of its protein when you freeze it does it? That's why I maintain: We need PROOF by means of a scientific test of some sort... Google here I come...
Just found this on Ocean Nutrition's website: Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein (min.) — 3.2% Crude Fat (min.) — 0.2% Crude Fiber (max.) — 0.7% Moisture (max.) — 95.1% Ash (max.) — 0.4% Phosphorus (min.) — 0.1% Let's assume the analysis is correct. So the question remains who claims Freeze dried has 40% + protein, doesn't make sense - an increase in protein through a process... Unlikely....
A Ha!! @Quakeszn you were spot on! :blushing: Now the penny dropped... From Bloodworm - The Free Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Encyclopedia Anyone Can Edit - The Aquarium Wiki [h=3]Guaranteed Analysis[/h] Crude Protein (min) 8.3% Crude Fat (min) 1.2% Crude Fiber (max) 3.9% Moisture (max) 81.7% (Protein as a percentage of dry matter - 45.3%) As a percentage of DRY MATTER... Now it makes sense!
Freeze dried process happens very quikly though ensuring as much of the protien being kept during the process.blood worms are conventionally frozen @Franscoisve i know you feed your killies blood worms amongst other live feed and my hat comes off to you ass i would not like that knind of headaches with fish that survive mainly on live feed.but i believe you will agree that FROZEN blood worm alone do not make you one of the best killie keepers i know sir.
