Full NRC 2001 ComplianceFull NRC 2001 Compliance

Full implementation of the NRC 2001 modeling equations means that optimized solutions are precisely controlled to produce the kind of balanced rations you’re looking for.

No short cuts have been taken and no compromises made. Formulate2 implements all aspects of the NRC 2001 model.

You have complete control over constraint enforcement at optimization time. Only items marked in the Bind field will be enforced. To bind a constraint, click on its bind field and press any key.

User minimums and maximums override NRC minimums and maximums on all constraints.

Premix Least CostingPremix Least Costing

After selecting the feeds for the premix from the ration solution, their combined analysis is placed on the Feed Clipboard then imported into the ration record with this menu option. The constraints are then bound.

Once the constraints are set, select Solve 3x Values from the Formulate menu and a linear optimization based on the 3x static coefficients will be performed.

You can add nutrients to the nutrient list or edit existing nutrient items. Each time you make a change in the nutrient list, Formulate2 automatically updates its tables to implement the changes. Nutrient items that are specific to the NRC 2001 model or have other special functions cannot be edited or deleted.
