Reading up on egg yolks (trying to find out how much B vitamins they supply) I discovered that egg yolks have a lot of vitamin A. Concerned about how much vitamin A, I went looking for more information. I found this article in feline-nutrition.org. But the two tables have me even more confused.
In table one, the nutrition of the egg yolk is listed, and it tells us that one large egg yolk (17 grams which I had to convert into ounces, .59 oz)contains 245 IU of vitamin A.
Table two lists some of the daily requirements for cats, and vitamin A is listed as 63 mcg.
So how the heck am I supposed to figure out if .35 oz of egg yolk three times a week is giving a cat too much Vitamin A, when the two tables aren't even using the same units of measure?
Can anyone help?
I have more questions about egg yolk, after this one is answered. Thanks.
