    Hello, I have found that chicken meal is better because one pound of chicken meal is made up of five pounds of chicken with the fat, bones and water removed, which means that chicken meal is a very concentrated source of protein. It is also more easily digested by the pet and allows their bodies to use the food more as nourishment so that there is less waste produced. I feed my dog Nutro, and it contains chicken meal in it and has improved his overall health, skin and coat. I have included a link below in case you wanted to check it out. I hope that this helps you in some way.

    Chicken By-Product Meal (protein)
    Chicken by-product meal is flesh and skin, internal organs including intestines, and bone that have been cleaned, dried, cooked and ground. It provides essential amino acids for muscle building, tissue repair, hormone synthesis and other metabolic processes. Internal organs are rich sources of protein, fats, and minerals, such as iron, that are essential to dog and cat health and add to the palatability of the pet food.
    Including some ground bone provides a good source of minerals, such as calcium. Some pet-food manufacturers formulate their products without such ingredients to appeal to dog and cat owners, rather than for optimal health of dogs and cats. However, the nutritional needs of dogs and cats are not the same as the nutritional needs of humans. No company can say that their chicken/poultry is absolutely 100% free of beaks, feet, feathers, heads. Our suppliers do not add those parts, we specifically require that they not be included. They would decrease protein quality if they were there in measurable amounts. Tumors should not be there since those birds would be condemned. We use the non-economic parts of chickens that have been through USDA inspection. The advantages of Chicken By-Product Meal are the quality of the protein (quality is measured as biologic value - which is a measure of digestibility and the levels of essential amino acids that it can supply) and the levels of fat and minerals that it supplies - only chicken and egg are judged to be better. Chicken and egg go mostly for human consumption, so that leaves CBPM as the best available source.

    Chicken meal(chicken with water removed) is best because it has the full nutritional value of the chicken since it is not being diluted by the water found in plain old chicken
