Description
Return dry mass from wet-mass water fraction and a record residual.
Animal-production budgets depend on measured quantities, population exposure and wet/dry or yield conventions. A per-animal quantity or material balance can reconcile records without establishing an appropriate housing, water or production target. Biological variation and welfare require independent assessment.
Return dry mass from wet-mass water fraction and a record residual.
When to use this tool
Use Feed Dry Matter Share Residual when checking the stated animal-record quantity, allocation or material basis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter wetMass, waterFraction, suppliedDryMass. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read derivedDryMass, residual. Use the output convention below.
Return dry mass from wet-mass water fraction and a record residual. Require nonnegative wet/supplied dry mass and waterFraction in [0,1]; derivedDry = wet*(1-water), residual = supplied-derived.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| wetMass | Wet Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| waterFraction | Water Fraction | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| suppliedDryMass | Supplied Dry Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| derivedDryMass | Derived Dry Mass | Required. Finite number. |
| residual | Signed observed/calculated-minus-reference difference under the operation specified above. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The moisture basis is supplied; no actual feed analysis, nutrient adequacy or health interpretation is established.
- 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
Use verified representative records and qualified husbandry/veterinary assessment for actual animal welfare, facilities or production decisions.
