Feed Formulation Mathematical Models in Poultry Nutrition
Published:October 7, 2020
Mohammad Afrouziyeh (University of Alberta) discusses Least Cost Feed formulation and Maximum Profit Feed formulation models, as well as the application of mathematical Linear Programming and Non Linear Programming models that are used in animal nutrition.
Professor Afrouziyeh, very interesting and ingenous approach to maximize profit. A step forward from simply minimizing the cost of the feed. Excelent and detailed explanation on how to build the excel sheet.
Dear Afrouziyeh, Feed ingredient price is hiking in such a way that formulation of poultry feed is difficult. Because sales price does not match production one. If any suggestion in practical standpoint based on Corn -Soy based feed.
phanindra nath saha Thank you for your comment. To manage price fluctuation I would recommend using Maximum Profit Feed Formulation. I have explained it in details in the following link: https://youtu.be/33sjsiy_6ck
dear dr muhamad thanks another time . iam working at Palestine technical university khadoorie but before the university i worked at poultry co and i was responsible for formulation of feed stuff
really i expect its nice subject but the application is not easy
where are you from and where are you working
Very interesting presentation and most useful. I would like to make one correction however that we started looking into least cost formulation in the 1960's and early 1970's and not 1990. We even started applying linear programming to least cost formulations as early as 1968 when a computer was the size of a room. Best regards
Thank you sir for nice presentation. I would like to request you to prepare more tutorial on basics of feed formulation so it will help beginners. May i get your email id and your youtube link sir. Thank you.
Dr. Prakash Adhikari Thanks for your comment. The link for my YouTube videos on similar topics is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOsyH_7MyD9VfGcqepQ_BA
