Abstract
Livestock Feed Formulation Programme has been developed to calculate feed formula for livestocks at the lowest feed cost by allowing farmers to select local but good quality raw feed materials to allow animals to receive complete nutrient requirement as needed and farmers to be able to apply the programme by themselves.
The programme is divided into two operations: data collection of raw feed materials and calculation of the nutrient requirement of animals. In addition, the program allows the display of data and modification of database. On feed formulation, the program uses database and reports including records and process of feed mixing based on formula from the remaining amount of raw materials.
This program used Microsoft Visual Basic.NET for development and Microsoft Access as database with Microsoft Windows XP as an operating system. The feed formulation itself employed the technique of linear programming model and also during modification of raw materials.
