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.

bullet

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.
