A Formula (or diet) is a list of nutritional requirements combined with list of ingredients that you might use to meet those requirements.

You specify the requirements by placing a minimum or maximum amount (also called a 'constraint') on one or more nutrients. You can also specify constraints on individual ingredients, so as to force a certain amount into the diet or to prevent too much from being included in the formula's solution.
In Tower Grove Feed, you work on a formula in the Workbench. The Workbench has three data entry pages (for nutrients, ingredients, and ratios and a number of reports.
Once you have entered the requirement for a diet, you must then solve the formula by clicking the "Solve Formula" button.
