I did a bit of an experiment between Ultium and XTN when Ultium came 
out. They are fairly close - except Ultium is pelleted and XTN is a 
textured feed. I found that I needed to feed more Ultium than XTN to 
maintain the same weight. Since Ultium cost more - that didn't seem to 
make sense.

I went back to the XTN.
