* BW: Body weight ** The adult bird crop holds an estimated 5% of body weight. In selected cases, the initial tube feeding should be one-third to one-half of estimated crop volume to minimize the risk of regurgitation. *** Emeraid Carnivore contains 4.98 kcal/gram and 1.6 kcal/ml when prepared as 0.73 directed. Basal energy requirements (kcal) are calculated as K (Wkg ) where W is weight in kilograms and K equals 132. Additional calories will be required for activity, convalescence, trauma, sepsis, and growth.
