History
Dalex Computer Systems, Inc. was founded in 1980 by Carl L. Alexander, Ph.D., to serve the needs of animal nutritionists working in the field.  Carl believed formulation was best done by the individual working closest to the animals.  The first products were developed on the Apple IIe computer.  Soon after they were rewritten to operate on the IBM Personal Computer when it was released in 1983. 

The Consulting Nutritionist was the first product released by Dalex and was received with great enthusiasm. It simplified the nutritionist's work and provided flexibility never before thought possible.

Shortly after The Consulting Nutritionist was released, Dalex followed with The Feedlot Secretary, a feedlot accounting package.  Now the nutritionist could recommend ration formulae and the feedlot could enter this information into their computer for further data analysis.  This product greatly reduced data entry time, reduced data entry errors, and increased analytical reports, thus increasing profitability for commercial feed yards.

The Feed Mill was introduced in 1983 to meet the needs of feed manufacturers.

In 1995 Dalex established a relationship with Miller Publishing to create a Windows database to access Compendium information.  Now subscribers to the Compendium have the option of receiving the information on a disk in addition to the standard books.

Windows Consulting Nutritionist VBA enabled was released in Dec. 1998 and has been met with success in both field and University trials.
