Abstract
This paper discusses cost minimization for pig diet formulation. A linear
programming model was formulated for minimum cost and maximum shelf
life feed quality. Linear programming technique via MATLAB was employed
to obtain solution using real life data collected from MOV Farms, Ilorin. The
results, attained at the 7th iteration gave an optimal value of the objective
function obtained as #94; 226 per 100 kg, with the corresponding values
1.5714, 0.6929, 2.8929, 0 and 0 for x1(pig weaner), x2(pig growers), x3(pig
nishers), x4(pregnant sow), x5(lactating sow) recorded respectively. Hence,
the cost of pig feeds formulation can be optimized e ectively.
