dc.description.abstractThis 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 7 th 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 x 1 (pig weaner), x 2 (pig growers), x 3 (pig finishers), x 4 (pregnant sow), x 5 (lactating sow) recorded respectively. Hence, the cost of pig feeds formulation can be optimized effectively
