How to define a nutritional plan:
It is possible to balance the ration both manually and automatically. The feature "Balance diet" allows to automatize the ration balancing, starting from the selected ingredients, according to the nutrition needs chosen for the pet ("Min. Requirements" - Minimum Requirements). On the basis of the chosen ingredients, the application determines the quantity of each component to obtain a complete and balanced ration.
To define a nutritional plan follow these steps:
- Select the ingredients from the drop down menu . It is also possible to search for an ingredient starting from a nutrient. Open the drop down menu and select the nutrient of your interest. A list of ingredients with the higher concentration of the selected nutrient is shown in descending order;
- Press the button to calculate automatically the quantity of the chosen ingredients;
- The doses for each ingredient will be shown on the column "Quantity". The values of the calory intake ("M.E."), macronutrients and micronutrients are indicated in the "Total" line. As shown in the example given above, the total value cells' background can be of three colours:
- green: if the overall value of the column is in compliance with the nutrition requirement ("Min. Requirements");
- yellow: if the overall value of the column slightly differs from the nutrition requirement;
- red: if the overall value of the column is not adequate and the quantity of the ingredients needs to be adjusted.
The nutritional plan can be also balanced manually by entering the needed quantity for each ingredients in the proper field of the "Quantity" column.
In case of use of the "Balance Diet" function, the application gives the possibility to edit manually the calculated quantities. In addition you can also set the quantity of one or more ingredients, as unmodifiable (
), to maintain these values unaltered during the automatic balancing.
