Abstract

A method for providing toxin information and recommendations includes receiving toxin content data for at least one ingredient. The toxin content data may include the type and amount for toxins found in the ingredient. The ingredient is classified based on the toxin content data and a predetermined allowable toxin amount for the ingredient. Based on the classification of the ingredient, ingredient storage information is displayed. In addition, ingredient use information may be displayed based on the toxin content data.

Claims

1. A method for providing toxin information regarding ingredients used in feed to a user, the method comprising:

receiving toxin content data for at least one ingredient, the toxin content data including a type and an amount for toxins in the at least one ingredient;

classifying the at least one ingredient based on the toxin content data and a predetermined allowable toxin amount for the at least one ingredient; and

displaying ingredient storage information regarding the at least one ingredient based on the classification of the ingredient.

2. A computer user interface that provides access to a toxin management system for providing toxin information and recommendations regarding ingredients used in feed to a user, the interface comprising:

a purchasing interface including a display region that displays a predetermined allowable toxin amount for at least one ingredient;

a testing interface, coupled to the purchasing interface, including a display region that displays a set of toxins to test for in the at least one ingredient, a display region that notifies the user of a test type associated with the set of toxins, and a display region that displays a set of toxin content data for the at least one ingredient;

a classification interface, coupled to the purchasing and testing interface, including a display region that displays a classification for the at least one ingredient;

a storage interface, coupled to the classification interface, including a display region that displays a set of ingredient storage information for the at least one ingredient; and

a formulation interface, coupled to the classification interface, including a display region that displays a set of ingredient use information for the at least one ingredient.
