Open Animal Nutrition Checker
Caveats
- Reference implementation, not a ratified standard. This is a non-normative reference implementation of the computation proposed by Open Animal Nutrition (the Dynamic Decile System, based on template Version 21OCT26b with the changes in docs/changes-from-21OCT26b.md; data version 21OCT26b.10). The verdicts deficient and excess are the provisional steward's proposal, pending ratification by a governance body that has not yet been formed.
- Disclosed interest. The provisional steward sells nutritional supplements and offers diet formulation software that implements this standard (Disclosure of interest: https://github.com/openanimalnutrition/animal-nutrition-ig/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md). The computation references no product, ingredient, supplement or vendor.
- Not a safety or compliance assessment, and not veterinary advice. Each value entered is compared with the selected requirement's ranges only. This does not show that a diet is adequate, safe, complete and balanced, or compliant with any regulation. Nutrients that are not entered are not checked.
- Some results depend on facts this checker does not take as inputs, for example age, breed, or whether a nutrient is added as an additive. Each nutrient lists these as conditions. Where the Implementation Guide leaves a point open, the verdict is empty and the open point is named.
