Key words: Ration, Ration Formulation, Least- Cost Ration Formulation, Linear Programming, Poultry INTRODUCTION Ration can be defined as the total amount of feed given to the animals on daily basis. Stochastic Method on Feed Formulation is recommended as great ingredient variability should be expected. Factors like acceptability of the feed by the birds, palatability, digestibility and the cost of feed production and the presence of anti- nutritional factors which may tie down the nutrients contained in the feedstuff must be built in as the users are not going to be experts. Nigeria based ingredients and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Nutrient Database SR20 were recommended for special consideration. Abstract: This paper describes a design requirement of feed formulation software for poultry industries in Nigerian. ![]() 2 Animal Science Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Journal of Applied Sciences Research, 4(11):, , INSInet Publication Nigeria Oriented Poultry Feed Formulation Software Requirements 1 2 Afolayan, Matthew Olatunde and Afolayan, Moji 1 Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
