Abstract

In fish feed formulation we determine the types and proportion of ingredients to be mixed to produce a complete feed at possible low cost. The fish species in culture pond should be fed with a feed that imitates as far as possible the nutrient levels in their natural food. This is achieved to some extent by mixing different feed ingredients in a suitable way. Here, several factors need to be taken into consideration, as the feed should be nutritionally viable and economically feasible. The problem then is to determine exact optimum proportions of different feed ingredients, which meets the necessary nutritional requirements and have the minimum possible unit cost for the formulated feed. This is achieved through Linear Programming.
