I found this yesterday which says 36% fibre which is different to the Burgess Extra in the chart. Is it a new one? Anyone had any experience?
I’m sorry if this question has been answered but I’m new and can’t see it anywhere.So after looking at the different foods available and finding that the information is spread all over the place I have started to compile a spreadsheet of the nuggets available here in the UK (and most in other countries). I am still gathering information but I have put the basics into a spreadsheet so that they can all be compared together.
If there is anything else you think I could add to the spread sheet, please let me know, or if you have any info about the blank spaces I'd be grateful too! Here it is so far.

I love this chart, but i was wondering which pellet is best?
What should I look for in a good food? The pet stores around here really only sell oxbow and the other ones they have seem low quality. I just use the oxbow but it's pretty expensive.
Health is great and budget isn’t an issue. I’d just like to know the best pellets.It all depends on your budget, what your piggies like and whether they have any health issues that need to be taken into account.
Thank you!You want to be looking at something low in Calcium, high in fibre and ideally without lucerne in the ingredients as well as the main ingredient being grass/hay.
This is great, what about adding vitamins and minerals content (vit c in particular)? Also might be useful to put high levels in red and low levels in a different colour as I can see the numbers but not sure how much is right for the piggies...So after looking at the different foods available and finding that the information is spread all over the place I have started to compile a spreadsheet of the nuggets available here in the UK (and most in other countries).

any recommendations? which do you think is best suited for pigs
ok thanks, I'll get some soonIt comes down to budget, availability and what your piggies will eat. My preferred pellet is science selective grainless, but I find it hard to get hold of and it is one of the more expensive, so I use burgess excel mostly and then add in some ss grainless when I can get it. Harrington’s is a popular choice as well.
17 PIGS?! whoa, can't even handle twoYes it is all down to what suits you, your pigs and your budget. I have 17 pigs at the moment so a 10kg sack of Harringtons is good for me and mine.
Absolute dream you're living with 17 pigs, well maybe a nightmare at time but would love the space for this many, maybe when I have my own placeYes it is all down to what suits you, your pigs and your budget. I have 17 pigs at the moment so a 10kg sack of Harringtons is good for me and mine.
Researching before I get piggies. I'm not really understanding the charts well enough. Is there a lot of difference between the burgess and tesco own pellets? They seem to be my two most obvious options
