Feed formulation is one of the important aspects in livestock farming and the livestock industry in any given country or area. The establishment of the feed industry is directly influenced and depends on the quality of the available feeds. In addition, the quality of the feed supplied depends on the quality of the raw materials that constitute the feeds. It is against this background that the quality of the feed or diet given to an animal should constitute or supply all basic nutrients needed by the animal in adequate amounts and the feed has to be highly digestible. Another important aspect to consider when formulating feeds for animals is that the feed should consist of all essential nutrients needed by the target animal (age group, growth stage and production purpose) with respect to the cost. In addition, the formulated feed has to be palatable (in an easy form that is attractive and acceptable to the animal) and should have minimal adverse environmental consequences.

EFG Software has developed a number of programs that incorporate scientific principles in poultry and pig nutrition into a form useable in the workplace. These programs have been developed to assist nutritionists in the feed industry to make decisions based on the effects of genotypes, feeds, feeding schedules and the environment on the simulated performance of growing broilers and pigs.
The software that we have developed includes a feed formulation program, simulation models that predict the food intake, growth, and carcass composition of broilers, turkeys, and pigs, and optimisation routines that, by integrating these programs, provide users with a facility to develop feeding programs that will, for example, maximise margin over feed cost for different strains of broilers or pigs. There is also some software that we make available free of charge.
Feed production software already exists, but does not adequately meet the needs of organic animal producers. The calculation software improves the feed database to meet the needs of organic farmers. The tools objective is to help farmers achieve a 100% organic diet for monogastric animals by improving the feed database programme. This aligns with the feed objectives for the coming years, the goals of farm autonomy. The tool allows the user to compose rations for pig and poultry farming based on two entries: 1. Production objectives (Types of animals, age, slaughter weight, laying potential...) and, 2. Usable organic feedstuffs.

Abstract: This paper describes a design requirement of feed formulation software for poultry industries in Nigerian. Nigeria based ingredients and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Nutrient Database SR20 were recommended for special consideration. 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. Stochastic Method on Feed Formulation is recommended as great ingredient variability should be expected. 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. While ration formulation can be defined as the process by which different feed ingredients are combined in a proportion necessary to provide the animal with proper amount of nutrients needed at a particular stage of production. Poultry are domesticated birds raised for meat or egg production examples are; Chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl, pigeon, ostrich e.t.c. Poultry feeding is a major item of cost in poultry production in Nigeria, feed cost accounts for over 70% of the total cost of producing eggs and broiler production. Many commercial farms had collapse while a good number out of them witness slow growth [7] due to sudden increases in the cost of poultry feeds. In other to maintain a reasonable margin of profit despite the rising cost of raw materials and labour, there must be a design to reduce the cost of production and still maintain high level of performance in the birds. Otherwise the prices of poultry products (eggs and meat) will increase significantly. This is because of the facts that, increase in the prices of raw materials would definitely lead to increase in the prices of the [2] finished feeds. Furthermore an ideal ration must contain the required level of nutrients at minimum cost. This can be achieved with the aid of least cost ration formulation using computer. This method of ration formulation is greatly used in large scale compound feed formulation, because of its advantages in eliminating human errors in calculation and speed. The farmer is much more interested in the cost of the final mix (net profit). Hence, least cost ration formulation techniques have therefore, been employed to obtain diets that meet specific requirements from readily [2] available ingredients at the lowest cost. Efficient ration formulation requires; proper knowledge of the feedstuffs, nutrients contained in the feedstuff as well as the type of animal to be fed with such ration to ensure optimal production at a reasonable cost. The ration should be palatable enough to encourage adequate consumption by the animals, and efforts should be made to ensure that such ration will not cause any serious digestive disturbance or toxic [5,7,9,4] effects on the animal. Different Species, Strains or Classes of animals have different requirements for energy (Carbohydrate and fats), proteins, Minerals, and Vitamins in order to maintain its various functions like body maintenance, reproduction, egg production, milk production and meat production e.t.c. Formulation of poultry feed is a highly complex exercise. It involves selecting a combination of feed ingredients that adequately meet stated nutrients and other requirements of livestock. Achieving a technically satisfactory feed as cheaply as possible is referred to as "least cost" formulation and is the basic objective of both commercial and on-farm feed [5] millers. Formulation of Rations for poultry emphasizes the use of linear programming using a computer to derive the least-cost ration. Reasonable cost refers to least-cost technique. Ration formulation does not merely involve mathematical calculation to meet the requirement of the birds, since the result of the calculation may turn out to be impractical and not Corresponding Author: Afolayan, Matthew Olatunde, Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. tunde_afolayan@yahoo.com 1596 2ff7e9595c
