Download or read book Animal Feed Formulation written by Gene M. Pesti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993-02-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students in animal science, industry personnel involved in the feeding of animals, and professionals working for feed-mixing companies will all benefit from this current, comprehensive package - a text on the economic and nutritional aspects of feed formulations that optimize nutritional content while minimizing costs. Animal Feed Formulation applies a well-tested, easy-to-use computer program called UFFDA that illustrates the principles of least-cost food formulation. Developed in a cooperative effort by the Departments of Poultry Science and Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Georgia, UFFDA is menu-driven software that has the editing capabilities of a spreadsheet program for altering the ingredient and nutrient matrix. The book begins by solving a simple ration-balancing problem, providing step-by-step instructions with the computer program that any user - even one without computer training - can readily follow. It then discusses specific feed formulation techniques in terms of their practical applications and economic implications. Included are such techniques as sensitivity analysis, parametric cost and nutrient ranging, optimum-density formulation, multi-blending, and risk analysis, among others. Applying these and other techniques using the special features of UFFDA, users can select the proper ingredients, adjust proportions among nutrients, determine which feeds might require scarce ingredients, consider the risks involved in dealing with ingredients with below-average compositions, and ultimately determine the costs and nutritional content of various feed formulations. The program can be applied to determining feed formulations for any animal, including sheep, beef and dairy cattle, swine, turkeys, broilers, catfish, and horses. Practitioners who are growing animals will be able to maximize the nutritional content of their feed while keeping costs down. Professionals working in feed-mixing companies will be able to maximize profits by offering products composed of low-cost ingredients that are also of good nutritional value. Students will gain a firm background in nutritional and economic concepts, insight into how to apply them to practical problems, and an understanding of the way good nutrition and good value can be achieved by applying the latest computer technology.

Download or read book Strategies to Improve Poultry Feed Formulation for Maximum Performance and Profitability written by Rashed Abdullah Alhotan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive research project was carried out in an attempt to improve poultry feed formulation using different strategies. In study 1, a simulation analysis in Excel was conducted to evaluate the batch segregation as a means to reduce nutrient variability for linear and non-linear feed formulations. batch segregation reduced variability about 50% compared to the traditional method of no segregation. Non-linear formulation increased feed costs to guarantee the minimum specification of nutrients at any confidence level. Employing the batch segregation when using non-linear formulation resulted in reducing feed costs. In study 2, A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the optimal balance between dlys & true protein (TP) levels in broiler feeds to account for the needs of the NEAAs during formulation. The dlys requirements increased linearly as a function of TP. For maximum BWG, the dLys requirement was estimated to be 4.92% ± 0.51 of TP. In study 3, a 35-d broiler trial was conducted to test whether or not feeds formulated based on digestible AA values from chick or rooster assays could make differences in performance and profitability. Formulation based on chick assay resulted in improved FCR compared to rooster assay. Profitability varied depending on feed cost, chicken value and size. In study 4, a simulation analysis was conducted in Excel to test the effectiveness of broken- line linear (BLL) and broken-line quadratic (BLQ) models in estimating the maximum safe level (MSL) of feedstuffs in lieu of the traditional multiple range procedure. The broken-line methodology provided good estimates of the MSL (small SE and high R2 values) and offered useful information for feeding trial planning. In study 5, 2 broiler trials were conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of pennycress meal (PM) as a protein source for broilers and to illustrate how the MSL can be different depending on the statistical analysis. The MSL was estimated in trial 1 to be 10% (orthogonal contrast), 9.12 ± 0.50 (BLL) and 7.0 ± 1.27 (BLQ). In trial 2, the estimated MSL was 12% (contrast and LSD), 15% (Scheffe's), 10.84 ± 0.57 (BLL) and 8.61 ± 1.29 by (BLQ).

The book includes a user-friendly computer program on a compact disk, accompanied by extensive context-sensitive "Help" options, to simulate the dynamic state of animals. The committee addresses important issues unique to dairy science-the dry or transition cow, udder edema, milk fever, low-fat milk, calf dehydration, and more. The also volume covers dry matter intake, including how to predict feed intake. It addresses the management of lactating dairy cows, utilization of fat in calf and lactation diets, and calf and heifer replacement nutrition. In addition, the many useful tables include updated nutrient composition for commonly used feedstuffs.
Download or read book INRA feeding system for ruminants written by INRA and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The INRA Feeding System for Ruminants has been renewed to better address emerging challenges for animal nutrition: prevision of productive responses, product quality, animal health and emissions to the environment, in a larger extent of breeding contexts. The new system is mainly built from meta-analyses of large data bases, and modelling. The dietary supply model accounts for digestive interactions and flows of individual nutrients, so that feed values depend on the final ration. Animal requirements account for variability in metabolic efficiency. Various productive and non-productive animal responses to diets are quantified. This book presents the whole system for dairy and meat, large and small ruminant production, including specificities for tropical and Mediterranean areas. The first two sections present biological concepts and equations (with their field of application and statistical accuracy) used to predict intake (including at grazing) and nutrient supply (Section 1), animal’s requirements and multiple responses to diets (Section 2). They apply to net energy, metabolisable protein and amino acids, water, minerals and vitamins. Section 3 presents the use of concepts and equations in rationing with two purposes: (1) diet calculation for a given performance objective; and (2) prediction of the multiple responses of animal to diet changes. Section 4 displays the tables of feed values, and their prevision. All the equations and concepts are embedded in the fifth version of INRAtion® software for practical use.

Download or read book Fuzzy Linear Programming Solution Techniques and Applications written by Seyed Hadi Nasseri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the necessary and essential backgrounds of fuzzy set theory and linear programming, particularly a broad range of common Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP) models and related, convenient solution techniques. These models and methods belong to three common classes of fuzzy linear programming, namely: (i) FLP problems in which all coefficients are fuzzy numbers, (ii) FLP problems in which the right-hand-side vectors and the decision variables are fuzzy numbers, and (iii) FLP problems in which the cost coefficients, the right-hand-side vectors and the decision variables are fuzzy numbers. The book essentially generalizes the well-known solution algorithms used in linear programming to the fuzzy environment. Accordingly, it can be used not only as a textbook, teaching material or reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in courses on applied mathematics, computer science, management science, industrial engineering, artificial intelligence, fuzzy information processes, and operations research, but can also serve as a reference book for researchers in these fields, especially those engaged in optimization and soft computing. For textbook purposes, it also includes simple and illustrative examples to help readers who are new to the field.
