Hi all. Lately I started making spreadsheets of my recipes to try and make sure they meet NRC recommendations. This is ongoing project, but I did discover they were definitely deficient in some nutrients and have been making up the gaps with supplements or whole foods when possible. I introduced oysters into the cats' diet primarily for zinc, but then I just read that they contain very high amounts of toxic heavy metals, like mercury, cadmium, fun stuff like that. I read mussels do too, which some people use for manganese I think. I loved the idea of being able to use a whole food instead of yet another supplement but now I fear that shellfish are too toxic to feed regularly.
Does anyone have any information or input/opinions on this issue?
