There would be some nutritional value there but the majority, or at least the parts one is looking for would be gone. PETCO carries the cans. Most stores do not keep it in stock but it can be ordered from the website. BARF distributors are a good source for the frozen chubs. I buy the five pound chubs and saw them into patties while frozen. It limits the handling once thaw as this stuff stinks to the high heavens. It will pretty much gag a maggot.

I use it about two, sometimes three times a week for normal feeding, and then three to four during hard work. The guy that turned me onto it years ago only uses a heaping tablespoon full at a time. My patties are about 4-6 ounces. He says I waste it as half my amount will serve the purpose. Not sure about the amounts? EWO
