Good day. We produce mixtures and animal feeds. We want to provide nutritional values ​​on feed bags so that farmers can be sure that they are buying a quality product and can compare it with others. We have already learned that the methodology for calculating nutritional values ​​for the food industry and feed manufacturers is the same, because the values ​​are calculated the same way every time, so we want to use this calculator program. However, there is a small problem. It does not have a database of the raw materials from which we produce. Is there a way to enter components into our calculations?

EXPERT ANSWER:

Yes, of course it is possible. After logging in to the FOODCAL Nutritional Value Calculator, please go to the Raw Materials Catalog. There are lists of food raw materials there - so that they do not appear in the suggestions when calculating the recipe, you should turn them off. If you need them in the future, you can always turn them on again. Perhaps some raw materials such as grains, vegetables, fruits will be useful to you, but if you want to enter your own raw materials, you should add them to the "Your raw material list" list, which is empty for each user and is for adding raw materials to the Catalog that are not in the Calculator database. Usually these are specific raw materials and there are many manufacturers who have such raw materials that are imported or produced especially for them. After adding raw materials to your list, you will be able to use them during every calculation and they will be displayed in the suggestions when calculating the recipe. Just enter the first two letters of the raw material and it will appear in the suggestions. Then you have to click on the appropriate suggestion to include the raw material in the recipe.

If you do not have time to enter raw materials on your list, please collect documentation, i.e. raw material specifications or laboratory test results, and send them to us. We provide a service of adding raw materials for individual clients, so you can commission us to do this work.

EXPERT ANSWER:

We hope that your doubts have been dispelled. We invite you to use our software, and if you have any further questions, we will be happy to help.
