						analyses of at least four production batches of the product, and the
						N<$INFE>FE is calculated as the difference between 100 and the sum of CP,
						CF, and the percentages of crude fiber, moisture and ash (determined in the
						same manner as CP and CF); or
ii. In accordance with a testing procedure
					 established by AAFCO.
d.
					 An affidavit shall be provided upon request to the ______ , substantiating that
					 the calorie content was determined by:

					 114.09(1)(c)(ii) shall not exceed or understate the value determined in
					 accordance with subsection 114.09(1)(c)(i) by more than 15%.
