Feed formulation Program

Commercial Feed Formulation programs are very powerful, complex and difficult to learn. UGA poultry scientists developed a Microsoft Excel-based workbook for teaching poultry and swine nutrition. The program consists of 11 individual spreadsheets and uses the Solver feature of Excel to find the least-cost solution to linear programming feed formulation problems. The program is available in Afrikaans, Albanian, Chinese, Croatian, English, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish or Turkish. All may be downloaded free. Nutrient specifications are included for broiler, laying and breeding chickens, turkeys, quail, ducks, guineas, goslings, and growing, gestating and lactating swine. It is now being used around the world.
