Animal Nutrition:
Allows mixing two foods that have nutritional concentrations
different to obtain as a result a mixture that has the
desired concentration.
It allows blending two foods that have nutritional concentrations.
different to obtain as a result a mixture that has the
concentration desired (protein, energy).
A simple example is one where a nutrient, protein, or
energy generally, considering two ingredients in the
process. Example
A food mixture that contains 20% protein is required.
Barley grain with 11.5% protein content and fish meal with 65% protein content.
The functionality of this method is subject to:
The nutritional content of a food must be higher (HP=65% PC)
to the required (20%), and
Another minor (CG=11.5% PC).
The data is ordered (illustration), by subtracting the smallest value from the largest. (20-
11.5 and 65-20.
Parts Percentage
Cebada grano = 11.5 45.0 84.11
20
Fish = 65 8.5 15.89
53.5 100
Finally, the desired mix is achieved and the protein content is adjusted:
(0.115 * 84.11 = 9.67%
(0.65 * 0.1589)100 = 10.33%
Foods % PC, %
barley grain 84.11 9.67
There. fish 15.89 10.33
Total 100.00 20.00
The method also allows for portions with a greater number of
ingredients and nutrients, with greater care taken in preparing the serving.
