To make it clear, in my experience, the best cost per gain is obtained by formulating for least cost per balanced calorie. This has been demonstrated a number of times in scientific literature and my experience in formulating diets for some of the leading broiler and turkey producers have borne this out. If you want to see it in action look at the drastic drop in dietary energy levels (and levels ...

We often forget (or forget to teach) that the mathematical program known as linear programming, often known as "least cost", when in actuality it can be used to determine either least cost or maximum profit. One of the problems that the author I think overlooks is that for many nutrients feeding less than a requirement can lead to disastrous results, especially when it deals with trace mineral, vi ...
