Benefits
Using optimisation within the formulation screen allows the user to create a ration defined by the nutritional specification they set. Rations can also be constrained by setting maximum and minimum inclusion levels for individual ingredients. Once the constraints or guidelines are set up, calculating the optimum, lowest cost ration takes seconds. No matter how many times the user might fine tune the specification, DietCheck's optimisation feature will recalculate and give the desired ration at the lowest possible cost. This is the most powerful feature DietCheck has.
