A lot of Victorian trainers feed either beef or chicken (mostly chicken as it's cheaper) whereas in country NSW you'd find most feed either beef (as it's easily accessible) or roo (which is more common). Both these meat are around the $4.50 per kg so are not cheap. Roo is more expensive than beef.
You cannot go around telling people that if they feed chicken or roo or horse, that they are shit trainers, because who do you think you are to say that? Many top trainers in my area feed roo and they've had more winners you could poke a stick at. So they must be doing something right.
Personally I prefer beef but after being scared once by a bad batch (all dogs got scours, needed veterinary treatment to recover) a few months ago, I was recommended to switch to roo meat for the time being. Even though it's $4.50 per kg, I am now happy as the dogs seem to be thriving on it, running more consistently and no problems with their poo's either. They also maintain their weight very well.
To add fat to the lean roo meat, sometimes I buy fresh chicken mince to mix with the roo at a ratio of 70% roo 30% chicken every few days for a change. Or either buy a block of lard and put a couple of spoonfuls on top of their feed, the dogs go absolutely crazy as lard is one of their favourite treat.
I know Graeme Bates feed chicken and bread only, which is surprising as his dogs are performing so well. I suppose he adds the necessary vitamins (iron etc) to the feed to make up for the shortfalls of feeding white meat.
