Basal mixes are by design incomplete in some way. The end user adds an ingredient(s) in a specific proportion. The nutrient levels in the basal mix are adjusted to account for the dilution of the added ingredient(s), so that the final complete diet contains the desired nutrient levels. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Formula examples:
TD.00235 Basal Mix (93%); AIN-93G without fat
TD.88232 Basal Mix (Without 20% Oil)
Here are some examples of how a basal mix could be helpful:
- Leave all or a portion of the fat source out. The end user can add various fats and make multiple diets from one basal mix.
- Make fresh diet as needed for an unstable, hazardous, or limited supply ingredient.
- Add a different vitamin or mineral mix to the same basal mix to create a series of vitamin or mineral adjusted diets.
If proper mixing equipment is available, and the end-user has the capability to feed powder diet, basal mixes offer flexibility and economy.
