Frequently Asked Questions
 |
What is least-cost feed formulation?
 |
Least-cost feed formulation
is an important sub-problem
within the broader and more
general problem of profit
maximization.
|
 |
|
 |
The practice of least-cost
feed formulation consists
of combining many feed ingredients
in a certain proportion
to provide the target animal
with a balanced nutritional
feed at the least possible
cost. As such, it
requires the professional
knowledge of animal nutritionists
who take into consideration
the nutrient requirements
of the target animal and
its capability to digest
and assimilate nutrients
from various, available
ingredients.
|
 |
|
 |
Nutritionists also need
to be aware of the variations
of nutritional requirements
for different species at
various stages of their
lifespan. It is important
to keep in mind that Feedsoft
runs on data that have been
entered into it by the user.
The final feed formula will
only be as accurate as the
initial information that
was input by the user.
