Feed formulation
F
optimisation models had been used over 100 years ago.
These optimisation models are used in such a way to provide
information on energy requirements at different stages for
growth, reproduction, metabolism and lactation at optimum cost.
To formulate an animal feed, knowledge of basic animal
nutrition, the nutrition levels of feed ingredients, feed
composition, as well as mathematical programming techniques
are important.
Feed analysis
F
Features include broiler feed and layer feed formulation
information. Ration is divided for four broiler stages: starter,
grower, finisher one and finisher two.
Layer feed formulation is divided into seven stages: starter,
grower, developer, prelay, peak, layer one and layer two. This is
user-friendly software that allows the user to edit, save, email as
well has having the ability to print the output formulations. Any
user input errors are highlighted if variables are not in the range
of a breeds requirement.
Kasturi is poultry management software that manages feed
formulation for layers, hatchery, and broilers. Covering all
aspects of the hatchery, from housing of newly born chicks to
egg laying birds, setting of eggs, to hatching of chicks. Kasturi
keeps a record of daily events such as mortalities, culls, feed
consumption rates and type of feeds being used.
It can formulate the feed, analyse nutrients, temperature,
humidity, light, body weight, uniformity and vaccination
schedule. It can generate several types of reports on medication,
vaccinations, sales, purchases, stocks and monthly performance
among other options.
Ration Formula Express (RFE) for poultry produced by
VETSOFT Software Corporation is a program based on least
cost feed formulation. This poultry management program uses
operation research techniques to formulate the least cost ration
depending on the requirements of breed and prices of ingredients.
RFE has bilingual language capabilities for English and Arabic. It
is based on feed composition according to NRC 1994.
It also takes care of shadow price and provides results in the
form of comparable decision sheets and graphs. These display the
ration formula ingredient quantities, a nutrients analysis, as well
as nutrients constraints and requirements.
