feed formulation

Feed formulation is the process of designing a balanced mix of ingredients to provide animals with the necessary nutrients they need for growth, reproduction, and health. It considers factors like the animal's species, age, and purpose, as well as ingredient availability, cost, and nutritional content. Nutritionists calculate precise combinations of grains, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to optimize health and productivity while ensuring the diet is cost-effective. This process helps prevent deficiencies or excesses, supporting efficient farming and sustainable animal care.
