Version 0.90
This program takes the technically derived equation for broiler growth,
adds economic data on the cost of feed ingredients and the value of
live broilers, and calculates the levels of protein and lysine
that maximize profits (returns over feed cost).

In this example, data was derived from a starting chick experiment,

so birds are only about 450 grams in weight.

For commercial production, data from larger birds needs to be derived.

The technical equation coefficients are input on the "Equation" spreadsheet.

From there, they are transferred to the "Formulate" spreadsheet.

Ingredient information should be input on the "Ingredients" spreadsheet

From there, it is transferred to the "Formulate" spreadsheet.
Ingrredient costs are input directly on the "Formulate" spreadsheet.

Nutrient information should be input on the "Nutrients" spreadsheet.

From there, it is transferred to the "Formulate" spreadsheet.

The "Solver" add-in can be used to maximize profits (cell I19) by

changing the amounts of feed ingredients in the solution subject to ingredient
and nutrient constraints. Different amounts of feed ingredients result in
different protein and lysine intakes, and therefore different amounts of
body weight, according to the technical growth equation input on the "Equation"
spreadsheet.

The "Solver" results sometimes depend on its starting point. By pressing the
"Ctrl" and "S" keys together before starting "Solver", a new starting point
will be coppied in to the problem (the data in cells l12 to L23).

By pressing the "Ctrl" and "C" keys together, the current results are copied
into the "Output" spreadsheet.
