Abstract
Modern poultry feed formulations are compounded under nutrient specification without consideration for the cost. This paper considers the least cost of layers feed formulation using Linear programming techniques without violating these nutrients specification. A model containing five locally sourced ingredient such as maize, soya meal, wheat offal, bone meal and limestone was developed with nine constraints, which are nutritional requirements. The cost of these ingredient was obtained from local feed millers in Ogun State. The optimum solution was obtained at the 9th iteration, which reveals that the cost of a bag of layers mash can be reduced to #2395.31 compare to existing cost of #2,480 per bag(25kg).Thereafter, the sensitivity analysis was run, which reflects that the proposed model is stable enough for any farmer to adopt, since a slight variation in the tolerable quantity of the decision variables will not affect the output.
