Formulation and computation of cattle feed mix by using TORA and LINGO: Minimization of adverse effect of nutrient ingredient

摘要

This paper presents mathematical models for multi-criteria objectives for animal diet formulation using LINGO and TORA. It represents formulation and computation techniques with the help of these software. Multi-objectives of this paper are; minimization of cost for cattle diet, better shelf life for feed mix and minimization of adverse effect of nutrient ingredients crude protein and phosphorus. Minimization of adverse effect of nutrient ingredients is done by using goal programming which gives a new dimension to this work.
