Generating legally compliant tags for your feed products can take up a lot of time. There are lots of different legislative obligations and commercial interests that need to be taken into account when generating the tags and labels that will accompany your feed product. 

The "used in" tool allows BESTMIX feed formulation users to search through their compounds and products based upon pre-set conditions (ingredient inclusions and/or nutrient values).  

Many BESTMIX Feed Formulation users use the ingredient and compound families to store regularly-used selections. In most cases these families need to be updated quite often to stay up-to-date.

By using the "dynamic families" functionality you can store the search criteria so BESTMIX automatically updates the family upon use.

BESTMIX Feed formulation users can save a lot of time by using the related compound functionality in situations such as when:

• You have formulas with different parameters (name, code, labels, …) but an identical composition
• You have formulas that have the same composition, but have different extra product ingredients (additives, medicines, …)

In BESTMIX Feed formulation a compound exists out of a combination of different ingredients. If there is a need to isolate a number of ingredients from the optimisation result, users can do so from within the optimisation window. As such, users can create mixes (premixes, concentrates, etc.) directly from a compound - quickly and easily.

BESTMIX Feed formulation users often add raw materials to compound compositions based on the code instead of the description. When working with these raw material codes, there are some options to speed up the process of changing the compound composition.

Users often have to make selections of items within BESTMIX Feed formulation, Quality control and Formulation as a Service.

If the specific situation requires a manual selection of items, users can press the ‘SPACEBAR’ to select the item and use the arrows to move to the next item.

In BESTMIX Feed formulation the availability of ingredients is set up in the plants. This availability avoids that ingredients that are not available in production locations are wrongfully used in compounds.

However, when creating rations, these same ingredients are also used as farmer ingredients where the availability is not an issue and are at..

Your customers sometimes request special bulk blends, different from your standard products.

Old product versions can cause an overkill of information in the BESTMIX Feed Formulation list of products. Instead of deleting these old products, you have the possibility to archive them. Once archived, you still have the option to undo this. All linked Labels and product communications are also archived.
