MixitPet Creates Home Diets For Dogs And Cats
MixitPet is a free Web application that uses linear programming to
calculate nutritionally balanced diets for healthy dogs and cats
using foods that may be available in an average household. It is
designed for dog and cat owners and is very easy to use.
Diets - also called "recipes" - and their nutrient content are
displayed and can be saved to text files. If the selected foods
cannot produce a balanced diet, a partial diet is shown along
with the nutrient constraints that are not met.
Program Sources
MixitPet was created by Agricultural Software Consultants, Inc.(ASC)
It has nutrients and ingredients selected from the USDA National
Nutrient Database and nutrient requirements for healthy dogs and
cats from the National Research Councils's publication "Nutrient
Requirements of Dogs and Cats"(NRC). The minimum and maximum Nutrient
requirements for dogs and cats are the "Recommended Allowance" and
"Safe Upper Limit" columns of Tables 15-5 and 15-12 of NRC, with
modifications.
