Worksheet Templates

A few 10 position Worksheet templates were set up - always with

• a Blank in position 1,
• a Reference sample in position 2
• and the Sample in position 10 being a duplicate of that in position 3

Calculations

A number of popular results calculations have been pre-configured in the setup

They include nutrient calculations for

• Apparent Metabolisable Energy
• Digestible Energy
• Metabolisable Energy
• Non-Structural Carbohydrates and 
• Total Digestible Nutrients.

Others are: Dry Matter results calculations and Residual Weight, Residual Weight (tare), Weight Loss, Weight Loss (tare) and Titration

Reference Definitions

1 Blank was configured with all analyses included with
Expected value of 0, minimum allowed of 0 and maximum of 1.

Any result outside of this range should raise an exception.

Other Reference Definitions are Feeds, Trace metals and Microbiology with
Expected values of 10, 10% deviation allowed = minimum 9, maximum 11
