ABSTRACT
In this paper, nutrient variability inclusion at different probability levels for animal feed formulation is discussed. Mathematical model is formulated by stochastic programming and diets are formulated at five probability levels. Objective functions are set for cost minimization and shelf life maximization of the feed mix. This paper discusses impact of allowed probability of nutrient concentration and variability of nutrient components for 40 models.
