Animal Feed Formula Design Steps

First, determine the animal's age, weight, physiological condition, and production level to establish suitable feeding standards. When adjusting the feeding plan, start by setting the energy requirement, then adjust other nutrients based on their proportion in the standard. Next, evaluate local feed resources to decide which feed types are available and suitable for the formulation. Then, consult the nutrient value table of the feeds and compare them with the nutritional requirements. Use a proper calculation method to create the initial formula. After that, fine-tune the calcium and phosphorus levels. Start by adding phosphorus-rich ingredients like bone meal, calcium hydrogen phosphate, or calcium phosphate, and then adjust calcium using calcium carbonate sources such as limestone or shell powder. For amino acids, use synthetic supplements if needed. Once the main mineral feeds are set, recheck and adjust the percentages of all nutrients in the initial formula. Finally, add trace elements and vitamins to complete the mixture. The order of nutrient calculations should follow this sequence: energy, crude protein, phosphorus, calcium, salt, amino acids, other minerals, and vitamins. Formulating a balanced feed requires two key pieces of information: the nutritional needs of the animal and the nutrient composition of commonly used feedstuffs. To make the formula more advanced and scientifically accurate, it’s also beneficial to review recent research literature and studies related to animal nutrition. This helps ensure that the feed is not only nutritious but also up-to-date with the latest findings in the field.
