Nutrition / Purina Mills Incorporated
English term or phrase: diet
should I translate diet/diets as alimento alimentos or dietas?

Context:

We are able to supply diets with the necessary nutrients for the development of the phenotype of mice used for experimentation. Certification for specific nutritional values will be provided.

En casos como estos, XXX aplicará nuestro plan de emergencia para entregas y aim to have diet with you within a maximum of 3 days.

Previously, our current customer within the Madrid area has miscalculated usage and run short of feed. Our own transport manager has arranged delivery of sufficient volumes of diet within a 36 hour period.

We are happy to accept that the volumes of diet listed for each year in section 5 (page 4/10) may not be completely exact and agree that volumes higher or lower would not affect our pricing or change the contractual conditions.

XXX accepts the volumes stated for each facility and can confirm that it has the capacity to store and supply each of these diets accordingly.

This emergency contingency would include in extreme circumstances XXX transport staff driving to Madrid within a 36 hour period should there be an emergency and extra diet be required.

Note: I already translated animal feed as alimento para animales

Thank you

agree  Paula González Fernández: Exacto, "Dieta" se refiere a lo que se come en general ("la dieta mediterránea"), no sólo a la privación de comer...
