this person has studied chemistry and biology for 6 and 8 years each, and also thinks of cellulose and some forms of corn as a dog-food filler.
//"At school in Germany she attended Biology and Chemistry classes for 8 and 6 consecutive years respectively and during her 2 1/2 year professional apprenticeship, nutrition/dietetics was part of the accompanying education, and the final written and oral exams by the state of Baden-Württemberg.
After completing coursework in Animal Nutrition, Care, Physiology, Diseases and Parasitology, Sabine earned her certification in Animal Care from the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada........After researching dog food and studying nutrition independently for some years, I wanted to know what kind of academic education is actually available in the field of pet or dog nutrition.
As I found out, there is actually no such thing as a "canine nutritionist". The closest job description I found was that of veterinary nutritionists, veterinarians with a PhD in animal nutrition who are certified by the American College of Veterinary Nutrition. Only very few of them exist, and most of them work for, or are affiliated with, the pet food industry.........."//
anyway, ^that person also still thinks cellulose, and some forms of corn are fillers in dog foods:

she also feels the AAFCO definition of animal digest can include euthanized dogs,
as the video on the DogFoodAdvisor shows, in link above.

Any kind of animal can be included: "4-D animals" (dead, diseased, disabled, or dying prior to slaughter), goats, pigs, horses, rats, misc. roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters, restaurant and supermarket refuse and so on.

i did see at least two articles describing, how corn gluten is even less digestible than other forms of corn,
