SUMMARY

Feed formulation has gone through vast improvements from simple hand formulations to computerised formulations using modern software equipped with advanced capabilities, which allows for high accuracy, easy integration, and flexibility. In general, modern commercial feed formulations are based on the concept of ‘least-cost' and produced using linear programming. Several challenges are encountered when formulating feeds, such as nutrient variability, ingredient shortages, and ingredient price fluctuations. Adopting innovative technology has helped nutritionists overcome most of the challenges that they face. In the future, poultry feed formulation is likely to receive more enhancements like implementing the true protein and net energy system and considering advanced profit-maximising models. Such enhancements should maximise profitability, meet nutritional needs more accurately, and reduce environmental pollution for more sustainable poultry production.

概括

饲料配方已经从简单的手工配方到使用配备先进功能的现代软件的计算机化配方进行了巨大改进，具有高精度、易于集成和灵活性。一般而言，现代商业饲料配方基于“最低成本”的概念，并使用线性规划生产。在配制饲料时会遇到一些挑战，例如营养变异、原料短缺和原料价格波动。采用创新技术帮助营养学家克服了他们面临的大部分挑战。未来，家禽饲料配方可能会得到更多改进，例如实施真正的蛋白质和净能量系统，并考虑先进的利润最大化模型。这种增强应使盈利能力最大化，
