Thanks AshwiniHi Mohan,
Its a a very general subject to explain in details here. So if you meet technicians or experts at the concerned department they will guide you personally.
here is a brief review..
Animal feed manufacturing is a billion-dollar industry. There are two types of feed products you can manufacture: finished compound feed that can be directly fed to animals and concentrates that animal growers can blend into commercial rations to complete the nutritional requirement for their livestock. The ingredients you would need are feed grains (corn, soybean meal, and oats), oilseed mill products, meat products and special ingredients like dried citrus fruit pulp, orange rinds, dried coffee residues, beet pulps, as well as nutritionally-enhanced meals.
Animal feed should meet nutritional requirements in terms of energy, protein, fiber and vitamins. And so, to meet requirements while ensuring that the business is profitable, animal feed producers spend substantial amount of resources toward finding out a feed formulation that meets nutritional requirements at the least possible cost. This process needs computers with software for running linear program to calculate the desired diet formulation. It also needs the expertise of animal nutritionists.
