Eighteen months of growing, over joints that carry 50 kg.
A Rottweiler grows for eighteen months and finishes at 50 kg of solid muscle and bone. That is a long, heavy build, and the joints carrying it are being laid down the whole time — hip and elbow dysplasia are the breed's defining orthopaedic risks and growth rate is the part you can actually influence.
Fat is held to 16% for controlled growth, with L-carnitine at 300 mg/kg steering what she does eat towards lean muscle rather than fat. Protein at 31% builds the frame, calcium at 1.26% and phosphorus at 1% are balanced for bone forming under load, and glucosamine and chondroitin support cartilage throughout. The kibble is large and shaped for a broad, powerful jaw. She moves onto Rottweiler Adult at nineteen months.
Dehydrated poultry protein, rice, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), maize flour, maize, animal fats, dehydrated pork protein, wheat flour, hydrolysed animal proteins, minerals, beet pulp, vegetable fibres, soya oil, fish oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides (0.34%), psyllium husks and seeds, hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), hydrolysed crustaceans (source of glucosamine), yeast extracts (source of betaglucans), marigold extract (source of lutein), hydrolysed cartilage (source of chondroitin). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 26,500 IU · Vitamin D3 700 IU · Vitamin E 530 mg · E1 (Iron) 41 mg · E2 (Iodine) 4.1 mg · E4 (Copper) 13 mg · E5 (Manganese) 54 mg · E6 (Zinc) 135 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.09 mg · L-carnitine 300 mg. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 10 g. Sensory additives: Yucca extract 125 mg. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks. **Do not add calcium or a growth supplement**; the balance here is deliberate and supplementing causes the skeletal disease it looks like it should prevent. Keep her lean, off stairs and off slippery floors until well past a year. Start training and socialisation early — a 50 kg dog who wasn't taught manners at six months is a serious problem at eighteen.

Read from the weight you expect her to reach as an adult. At nineteen months she moves onto Rottweiler Adult. **Do not feed above the guide** — faster growth in this breed is damage. Three meals to six months, then two. Fresh water, always.
