To do this, first click the check box above the component: Then, click the "Substitute" check box for the ingredient that will be used to increase the concnetration of the selected component: Note that after the diet is reasonably-well balnced, the "As-fed" concentrations can be rounded off to an appropriate number of decimal places.
