actually the process of fermentation is quite specific. It requires the correct temperature and enzymes in order to be effective, as well as time. 24hrs max is NOT enough for decent fermentation and most products of fermentation - well alcohol, acids, CO2 etc.

The whole grains are soaked to encourage germination. Germination converts 'storage' sugars into usable sugars in the grain. The rest of it is to rehydrate the dry mix in order to increase the digestibility. Digestibility is partially determined by the water content, if the GI tract has to pump water into a food to try and digest it a lot will be undigested and use a lot of energy from the animal.

I dont use it because it's expensive for what it is (canine muesli) and makes 2 out of 3 of my dogs ill.
