Diet Formulation and Evaluation Software
The NSNG Diet Formulation and Evaluation CD will perform two distinct functions. You can use it to formulate swine diets on a least‐cost basis or evaluate the nutritional adequacy of existing diets. These functions can be applied to diets for sows, breeding boars, nursery pigs, growing‐finishing pigs and replacement gilts and boars.
