1. FORMULATE A DIET
The foods are chosen in the window on the left, where you
must choose one by one those foods that you are going to
use and move them to the window on the right “Selected
foods” using the “>” symbol. In case you have made a
mistake, or simply want to remove a food, simply mark it
by clicking on it and with the “<” symbol you can return it
to the food database. A maximum of 20 foods can be
selected.
However, the foods listed are not the only ones that can be
used. The system only has some examples and you can
enter the foods you want by activating the “Add food”
button that appears in the lower left. Another way to add
foods is from the “Food table management” submenu from
where you can access the same previous option “Add
food”. The screen you will see is below.
When you finish selecting your foods, click on “Continue”
and a new screen will appear offering you the opportunity
to verify the composition of the foods in terms of Dry
Matter, Metabolizable Energy, Crude Protein, Crude Fiber,
Calcium , Phosphorus, Degradable Protein in the rumen
and Neutral Detergent Fiber. If you would like to consider
other nutrients in your formulation, you can enter them
from the “Modify formulation”/ “nutrients”/ “include
nutrient” menu .
The next screen will offer you the prices that the system
will consider for each selected food. If you want to modify
any of them, just click on the price in question and the box
at the top of the list will be activated, where you must write
the new figure and enter it with Enter. The system
recognizes the comma and the period as separators of the
integer and decimal part of a number, so you can use either
form.
This option will allow you to access a table that lists all the
foods entered into the system database with their respective
composition characteristics (nutritive value) and price.
Remember that food data is handled “in green”. The screen
that will be displayed is the same as the one you see below
and can be printed directly.
From this module you can enter new foods by activating
the Add food button below, after which a line will be
activated at the end of the table with the name of the new
food that must be filled in according to its composition as
seen below. continuation. If you want to delete any food,
just mark it and operate the “Delete line” button.
The screen has two buttons at the bottom, the first deletes
the entire row where the information for a requirement is
located if desired, and the other allows the entry of a new
requirement, automatically creating a row with the name of
the new type of animal. and the boxes corresponding to
each nutrient requirement that must be filled out according
to the user's data. In the following example you can see
how a new row was created for the requirements of a calf.

In the second table are those foods that were not considered
for the formulation of the ration and together with a
calculation of how much their price should be reduced to be
considered in the ration.

2. FOOD
The table that appears there offers you the option to choose
the food on which you want to impose a restriction. Any
square is activated by standing on it. You must not forget to
use Enter to enter each data. First specify whether this is a
maximum or
minimum and then write the amount of food “in green” (as
fed) and in kilograms, which must be considered. After
making the restriction, display the result and verify that it
has been considered in the new formulation.
3. NUTRIENTS
Once you enter the program, choose the first option “Ration
formulation” on the main screen and enter the identification
data of your ration as seen on the following screen.
Choose from the food base those that were previously set as
those of immediate availability.
In the next two screens (as can be seen below) you will be
shown the nutritional composition of the chosen foods and
their prices, according to the information in the database.
Verify that these values are correct and continue. If you
would like to make any corrections, you can do so by
directly activating the box in which you want to change the
information by clicking on it. It is important to mention that
all changes made within a portion are recorded only within
that file and do not modify the database. If you want to
make permanent changes to your data, do so from the Food
database.

Now it can be seen that the calculated ration does not meet
the requirement for degradable protein and for that reason
the diet is infeasible. Therefore, protein sources should be
added as new options. In this case, bran raps and fish meal
will be chosen. The procedure followed is the same as the
previous one, except that this time two foods will be
included.

EM consumption = 61 Mcal
Fatty Acid Restriction = 16% of ME consumption
ME Fatty Acids = 8 Mcal/kg MS
