Brief Overview on Role of Feed formulation software in Management of Feed prices

Abstract

Feeding chickens is currently less expensive than feeding other livestock. It was discovered that the price of chicken feeds might be decreased by using unusual (cheap) local ingredients to create the least expensive feed composition with the use of computer software. When using these feed materials in the composition of feed, extra nutrients must be included, like, toxin binders, amino acids, micronutrients and some others. The majority of broiler and layer enterprises were found to be using amino acids over the levels recommended, with minimal influence on output and detrimental consequences on profitability. Although there are anti-nutritional elements and a reduced level of digestibility in typical feed components, there is little utilization of unconventional feed ingredients. This study looks at the use of low-cost feed ingredients to reduce feed costs while raising feed quality and output, and it also highlights the function of computer software in feed formulation.
