Description
Return milk pricing mass under a component-basis policy.
Animal feed, milk and scaling terms require explicit dry-matter, energy, component and body-size bases. Empirical coefficients and caller-supplied prices are not universal biological laws. An intake or cost estimate does not select a diet, predict health or establish an appropriate intervention.
Return milk pricing mass under a component-basis policy.
When to use this tool
Use Milk Component Price Base Flag when checking the stated intake, composition, cost or allometric convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter milkMass, componentFraction, suppliedPrice, pricePerComponentMass. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read pricingMass, revenue. Use the output convention below.
Return milk pricing mass under a component-basis policy. Require mass/price >= 0 and componentFraction in [0,1]; pricingMass is component mass or whole milk mass, revenue = pricingMass*price.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| milkMass | Milk Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| componentFraction | Component Fraction Unit: 1. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| suppliedPrice | Supplied Price | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| pricePerComponentMass | Price Per Component Mass | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| pricingMass | Pricing Mass | Required. Finite number. |
| revenue | Revenue | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The chosen basis must match the price units; no invoice, actual composition, legal entitlement or market value 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 animal/feed measurements, the intended validated model and qualified veterinary/nutrition advice for care or feeding decisions.
