Personally, I would have expected better regarding Blackhawk.
No, p 26 shows Animal Care $425m revenue, total revenue $8765m = 5.1%
I think the 13% (p 7) is Animal Care share of earnings, admittedly a more important figure.

Blackhawk products are popular and well priced, but they are really stretching it by advertising real meat. They use meal which is rendered down waste, like heads, hooves, bones, innards etc......and show photos of chicken breast and lamb racks on their packaging.....very, very poor in my book.
**gets off soapbox**
I see little wrong with innards etc being served up to pets. As a youngster our cats much preferred cooked cow lungs (known as lites) than tinned cat food. And when there are so many hungry in the world (and, apparently, in NZ) we shouldn't really be feeding food fit for humans to our pets.

There's not much nutrition in hooves, but other offal products can be beneficial. What concerns me is the percentage of fillers in many brand name pet foods, that people blindly buy because it is a) cheap and b) advertising (inclusive of social media) has convinced them they must.

Blackhawk excludes all fillers pretty clearly - and I assume they're not just liars so yeh just sayin ....

For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

Our Alsatian used to love eating sheep heads. However it is humans that go shopping so you cannot blame the companies for putting a picture of a tasty looking steak on the tin. If they put a sheeps brain on it, then nobody would buy it.
It is good all of the slaughtered animal is used up. Would be a waste otherwise, and the pets seem to enjoy it so whats the worry?
From an EBOS perspective, I do not see this company posing much of a threat to the bottom line, pretty niche, at 78 dollars for 24 small cans of catfood it is more than twice as expensive as the stuff you buy in the supermarket.

I agree, ratkin. Followers of EBO should remind themselves to "watch the doughnut, not the hole!"

Does EBOS distribute nasal vaccine products yet? Well there is a nasal vaccine coming from altimmune or someone that blocks the virus in the nasal cavity. There will be a rush to get and distribute this to market later next year. Where would a product like this be distributed and which companies in the chain would profit from it.
