✦ ForgeAIILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
YOUR REQUEST
Draft a nursery diet with my ingredient library and current prices. Keep wheat middlings under 5%.
✓
Read your ingredient libraryUse the ingredients and nutrient values you supply.
✓
Review the constraintsApply the selected specification and inclusion limits.
✓
Check your current pricesCompare the ingredient costs in your workspace.
✦
DRAFT RESPONSE
Your starting formulation is ready.
I’ve prepared a draft for your specification, with wheat middlings below your limit. Review the ingredient values and constraints, then optimize.
The takeaway: DietForge does not replace nutritional expertise. It gives teams a clearer, more collaborative way to apply it — without hidden formulas, outdated spreadsheets, or file versions scattered across different systems.
What makes DietForge different
Built for how nutritionists actually think.
Nonlinear Phytase Modeling
Model dose response curves instead of relying on a single fixed matrix value. Included in Free and Pro.
Shadow Pricing
See what each binding nutrient or ingredient constraint is costing, directly alongside the diet. Available in Pro.
Growth Economics (Swine)
Cost per gain and income over feed cost are available in Pro for swine only today. Planned for other livestock species.
3 Variable Parametric Analysis
Test how 3 prices, nutrients, or inclusion constraints interact across a decision surface. Available in Pro.
Stochastic Optimization Beta
Account for nutrient variability and test the probability that a diet meets its constraints. Available in Pro as a beta feature.
Shared Formulation Workflow
Keep formulation, ingredient prices, constraints, comments, and version history in one workspace for the nutrition team.

Feed formulation software applications
Built for the people behind every feed decision.
DietForge brings formulation inputs, economics, review, and reporting into a browser based workspace for the people responsible for commercial animal nutrition decisions.
Formulation
Animal nutritionists
Build and compare diets with ingredient values, nutrient and inclusion constraints, least cost optimization, swine growth economics, and nutritionist review.
Production
Feed mills and integrators
Keep local ingredient prices, formulation versions, team comments, activity history, and PDF or Excel exports in 1 shared workspace.
Operations
Farm managers and producers
Review how ingredient price and constraint changes affect diet cost, compare scenarios, and share selected formulations with the production team.
Advisory
Nutrition consultants
Review formulations with clients, document decisions, and deliver professional reports without passing workbook versions back and forth by email.
Choose a starter library or import your own ingredient values and prices. Set practical inclusion limits.

Species focus
Your nutrition program. One shared workspace.
Keep your ingredient library, nutrient targets and formulation history together. Choose the species and reference standards that fit your work.
Your species. Your workspace.
Start with available ingredient and nutrient defaults, or bring your own library. Your team controls the values, prices and constraints used in each diet.
Species access is included in Free and Pro. Cost per gain and income over feed cost are available for swine today and planned for other livestock species. Models and reference standards vary by species.
Try every Pro feature for 14 days, starting when you save your first diet. Then keep using Free or choose Pro. No credit card required. Cost per gain and income over feed cost are available for swine today, with other livestock species planned.
DietForge is cloud-based feed formulation software for animal nutritionists, feed mills and consultants. It combines ingredient data, nutrient constraints, least cost optimization, ForgeAI assistance, version history and shared review in one workspace.
ForgeAI can draft a diet from your brief, help interpret formulation constraints and suggest changes using the context supplied from your workspace. Review the ingredients, sources and assumptions before applying a suggestion. The optimizer calculates the solution; you decide what to use.
Yes. Start with an available ingredient and nutrient library or bring your own. Import reviewed spreadsheets, update local prices and set the nutrient and inclusion limits for your production phase. Check units and source data before optimizing.
The optimizer searches for an ingredient mix that meets your active nutrient and inclusion constraints at the lowest calculated cost. The result depends on your data, prices and limits. A feasible solution still needs professional review before use.
Open Review with ForgeAI to investigate the current draft and its constraints. You can review suggested changes, choose which to apply and rerun optimization. Nothing changes until you apply a suggestion; you can also keep editing the draft yourself.
Cost per gain and income over feed cost are available in Pro for swine today. They compare outcomes under your entered performance and price assumptions. These models are planned for other livestock species; least cost formulation is available across supported species.
Free and Pro include the supported species modules, including swine, poultry, dairy, beef, aquaculture, equine, pets and small ruminants. Available nutrient standards and models vary by species. Check that the reference basis fits your animal and production phase.
Yes. DietForge supports shared workspaces, comments, version history and exports. Free includes basic spreadsheet imports and exports. Pro adds five editors, unlimited diets and mills, full version history and professional PDF and spreadsheet reports.
Workspace access depends on membership and assigned roles. Review team access in Settings, and read the Privacy Policy for how DietForge handles account data and AI features. Contact tatiane@dietforge.ai with questions about your workspace or data deletion.
Yes. Free includes up to 100 saved diets, one mill and one editor. New accounts can try Pro for 14 days without a credit card. Pro is $299 per month with unlimited diets and mills, five editors and advanced analysis. Existing customers keep their contracted benefits.
Bring one real diet. See whether DietForge earns its place.
Start free with your own ingredients and targets. Review the formulation, explore the tradeoffs and decide with your team.
