Programming Technique for Animal Diet Formulation: A Non-linear Approach

Abstract

This paper proposes a technique for animal diet formu lation using Non-linear programming and C language. Objective of this technique is to maximize animal weight gain. Most of the existing techniques use linear appro ximat ion of objective function. This technique uses Non-linear programming, which overco mes this drawback. C language program explores the area of programming in the field of animal diet formu lation. Outcome of this technique is applied on sample data and provides optimized set of nutrient ingredients to animal wh ich fulfill the nutrient requirement better than the linear programming technique.
