Programming Technique for Animal Diet Formulation: A Non-linear Approach

This paper proposes a technique for animal diet formulation using Non-linear programming and C language. Objective of this technique is to maximize animal weight gain. Most of the existing techniques use linear approximation of objective function. This technique uses Non-linear programming, which overcomes this drawback. C language program explores the area of programming in the field of animal diet formulation. Outcome of this technique is applied on sample data and provides optimized set of nutrient ingredients to animal which fulfill the nutrient requirement better than the linear programming technique.
