Basis for calculations (technical information)

FeedForm is a Microsoft Access data base set up to formulate diets based upon the substitution method. It is copyright (c) 2010 by Michael L. Thonney, but permission is granted to distribute the present version free of charge. No fee of any kind may be charged. None of the forms, queries, reports or Visual Basic code may be used as the basis for a commercial product without the author's permission. Microsoft Access 2003 or later is required to run the program. Use of this software is at the risk of the user. The author is not responsible for any use that results in damages of any kind.

To learn about the program, view the documentation.

To use FeedForm, open the FeedForm zip file and extract all the files to any folder on your computer (create a new one, if you wish). Click on the FeedForm-X.YDist.mdb (where X and Y are replaced by version number) is file (from within the folder to which you copied the files) to run the program.

The suggested levels for minimum pfNDF and maximum NSCHO are best estimates and may be revised frequently as more data are available.

Note: To work on multiple diets, keep a copy of the FeedForm.mdb for each diet. FeedForm can be copied using Windows Explorer (part of Microsoft Windows) and then renamed to reflect each diet.
