Description
Calculate supplied leftover-feed percentage and mass removed from an offer.
Animal records distinguish measurements, count-time exposure, mass fractions, percentages and nominal feed differences. Offered-minus-refused mass does not verify ingestion, and live-weight loss does not identify its cause. Source labels and scalar rates preserve supplied observations without assessing health or suitable care.
Calculate supplied leftover-feed percentage and mass removed from an offer.
When to use this tool
Use Animal Feed Left Over Percent when you already have offeredMass, leftoverMass and need to calculate supplied leftover-feed percentage and mass removed from an offer.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter offeredMass, leftoverMass. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read leftoverPercent, removedFromOfferMass. Use the output convention below.
Require offeredMass>0 and leftoverMass in [0,offered]; return 100*leftover/offered and offered-leftover.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| offeredMass | Offered Mass | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| leftoverMass | Leftover Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| leftoverPercent | Leftover Percent | Required. Finite number. |
| removedFromOfferMass | offeredMass-leftoverMass, not necessarily consumed mass. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Removed mass is not verified consumption. This does not separate spillage, measure intake, evaluate nutrition or recommend a ration.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original animal, feed, weighing and observation records with the complete professional assessment. Check sampling scope, calibration and welfare context before interpreting local fractions or count balances as management or clinical conclusions.
