Nutrition values vary with every animal and the region and the environment in which the animal is raised. Even within the same herd, nutritional values will vary because no two animals eat the exact same amount of grass, walk the same distance nor drink the same amount of water.
The International Yak Association gathered 100% yak meat samples from various grass-fed and grass-finished yak ranchers in the United States. The meat was then sent to Silliker labs in Canada who combined the meat and tested it for nutritional content.
