Optimizing Livestock Nutrition Using Linear Programming  Jasper A. Cabatas... et al ...  -  November 2024  - 29 pages .,;  illustrations,  28cm. <br/><br/>thesis <br/><br/> This thesis investigates the nutritional profiles of various starter, grower, and finisher feed combinations, focusing on essential components such as crude fat, crude fiber, crude protein, digestible amino acids, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus, and using FeedCal, a linear programming simulator, we first generated optimal feed combinations tailored to meet the nutritional requirements for different stages of livestock growth, with our analysis revealing significant variations in nutrient levels among the combinations, with Starter 1, Grower 3, and Finisher 3 emerging as the most enriched options and demonstrate competitive performance against some commercial brands. Keywords: Nutritional profiles, Starter feed, Grower feed, Finisher feed, Crude fat, Crude fiber, Crude protein, Digestible amino acids, Calcium, Phosphorus, FeedCal, Linear programming simulator, Optimal feed combinations, Livestock growth stages, and Nutrient levels.
