Linear Programming Models Application in Nigeria Broiler Poultry Rations: Transport Logistic Distributions and Optimized Nutrients Diet Formulation

Adeniyi Samson ONANAYE

Abstract

The diet issue was one of the first problems to be described as linear programming. The objective of the diet issue is to choose a combination of foods that will satisfy daily nutritional demands while being as affordable as possible. A balanced diet is necessary for chicken's growth, livability, and ability to mature to its complete genetic potential. The profitability of live birds must be maximized, and feed costs per kg of body weight must be reduced. The early nutrient diet incorporates several feed ingredients needed for the bird's diet to be balanced. The general mathematical model is built as
