WUFFDA C21 Lecture

The document provides an overview of the WUFFDA feed formulation program. It describes the capabilities of the program to solve systems of equations and minimize or maximize parameters like feed cost and nutrient levels. It presents an example problem involving corn, soybean meal, energy, and protein levels. The document outlines the graphical and linear programming solutions to the basic feed formulation problem and describes the procedures for using the WUFFDA program to solve formulation problems, add ingredients, and add nutrients.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO

THE WUFFDA PROGRAM


LECTURE AND TURORIAL
FOR CHAPTER 21
FEED FORMULATION BASICS

POULTRY NUTRITION
AND FEEDING
Chapter 21

Section I.

INTRODUCTION
FORMULATION PROGRAM
CAPABILITIES
• SOLVE A SERIES OF EQUATIONS
• MINIMIZE OR MAXIMIZE PARAMETERS
– FEED COST
– ANY NUTRIENT LEVEL
Chapter 21

Section I I.

THE BASIC FEED


FORMULATION PROBLEM
EXAMPLE PROBLEM

• CORN CONTAINS 8.8% PROTEIN, 3.43 Kcal / Kg & COSTS


$15.33 PER 100 KG.
• SOYBEAN MEAL CONTAINS 48.5% PROTEIN, 2.44 Kcal/Kg ME /
Kg & COSTS $23.10 PER 100 KG
• THE KG OF CORN PLUS THE KG OF SOYBEAN MEAL SHOULD
EQUAL 100
• THE FEED SHOULD CONTAIN EXACTLY 2.97 Kcal ME / Kg AND
AT LEAST 23% PROTEIN
EXAMPLE PROBLEM QUESTION

• WHAT IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE


COMBINATION OF CORN AND
SOYBEAN MEAL THAT MEETS THESE
RESTRICTIONS?
EXAMPLE PROBLEM QUESTION

• WHAT IS THE LEAST – COST


FORMULA THAT MEETS THESE
REQUIREMENTS?
EQUATIONS TO SOLVE

• X = POUNDS OF CORN
• Y = POUNDS OF SOYBEANS
• X + Y = 100
• 3.43 X +2.44 Y ≥ 2.97 (100)
• 8.8 X + 48.5 Y = 23 (100)
Chapter 21

Section III.

A GRAPHIC SOLUTION TO
THE BASIC PROBLEM
GRAPHICAL SOLUTION
140
3.43X + 2.44Y ≥ 2.97(100)
120 Shading indicates that
Kg of Soybean Meal (Y)

anywhere above this line


100 satisfies the energy restricton.
X + Y = 100

SOLUTION = 64.23, 35.77

Kg of Corn (X)
• GRAPHING TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR 2
INGREDIENTS AND 2 NUTRIENTS IS
POSSIBLE
• MORE NUTRIENTS OR INGREDIENTS MAKES
THE SOLUTION VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND
• COMPUTER PROGRAMS, LIKE EXCEL AND
SEVERAL COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS, MAKE
LEAST-COST FEED FORMULTION FEASABLE
WITH MANY INGREDIENTS AND NUTRIENTS
Chapter 21

Section IV.

A LINEAR PROGRAMMING
SOLUTION TO THE BASIC
PROBLEM
WUFFDA
• WUFFDA IS A WORKBOOK THAT RUNS
IN MICROSOFT EXCEL
• WUFFDA WAS DESIGNED FOR 25
INGREDIENTS AND 34 “NUTRIENTS”
• “NUTRIENTS” INCLUDE THINGS LIKE
DRY MATTER, NUTRIENT RATIOS &
INGREDIENT CATEGORIES (LIKE
FORAGES, CONCENTRATES, & ANIMAL
PROTEIN PRODUCTS).
THE PROGRAM OPENS ON THE TITLE PAGE
CLICKING ON THE INGREDIENTS TAB
OPENS THE INGREDIENT COMPOSITION
MATRIX.
ENTER FEED COMPOSITION, COST AND
LIMITS DATA IN THIS WINDOW
DATA CAN BE STORED ON THE BOTTOM OF
THE PAGE (NOT VISIBLE) AND RECALLED
LATER WHEN NEEDED
CLICKING ON THE NUTRIENTS TAB OPENS
THE WINDOW FOR NUTRIENT LIMITS
ENTER NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT AND
TOXICITY DATA IN THIS WINDOW
DATA CAN BE STORED ON THE RIGHT OF
THE PAGE AND RECALLED LATER WHEN
NEEDED
CLICKING ON THE FORMULATE TAB OPENS
THE MAIN FEED FORMULATION WINDOW
MAKE NO CHANGES IN THIS WINDOW!
CLICKING ON THE GRAPHS TAB
OPENS A WINDOW SHOWING
HOW NUTRIENT LEVELS
COMPARE TO REQUIREMENTS
CLICKING ON THE FEED SPEC TAB OPENS
A WINDOW DESIGNED FOR PRINTING
FORMULA DETAILS
THE TOP OF THIS PAGE SHOULD BE
CUSTOMIZED WHEN PRINTING WITH THE
NAME OF THE FEED AND ANYTHING ELSE
YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD
CLICKING ON THE MIXING SHEET TAB
OPENS A WINDOW DESIGNED FOR
PRINTING SPECIFIC AMOUNTS OF A FEED
TO BE MIXED
THE TOP OF THIS PAGE SHOULD BE
CUSTOMIZED WHEN PRINTING WITH THE
NAME OF THE FEED AND ANYTHING ELSE
YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD
THE OTHER TABS LEAD TO
SPREADSHEETS WITH STORED DATA THAT
CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO THE
INGREDIENT COMPOSITION SPREADSHEET
Chapter 21

Section V.

PROCEEDURES
A. THE BASIC PROBLEM
TYPE IN:
CORN FOR INGREDIENT 1
SOYBEAN MEAL FOR INGREDIENT 2
ENERGY FOR NUTRIENT 1
&
PROTEIN FOR NUTRIENT 2
ADD THE NUTRIENT VALUES AND COST
FOR EACH INGREDIENT
ADD THE LIMITS FOR NUTRIENTS ON THE
NUTRIENTS SPREADSHEET
TO SOLVE THE ENTERED PROBLEM, GO TO
THE FORMULATE SPREADSHEET AND
CHOOSE “TOOLS”,
“SOLVER” AND ”SOLVE”
THE WUFFDA PROGRAM HAS A SERIES
OF EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES ALREADY
ENTERED

MASH THE SOLVE BUTTON


OOPS!
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE PROGRAM TRIED TO FIND A
SOLUTION WITH ZEROS FOR
MAXIMUMS
INSERT 100 FOR THE MAXIMUMS
ON THE INGREDIENTS
SPREADSHEET
AND ON THE NUTRIENTS
SPREADSHEET
FROM THE FORMULATE SPREADSHEET, CHOOSE:
TOOLS
SOLVER
& SOLVE, AGAIN

AND NOW IT SHOULD WORK!


RESULTS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE
FORMULATE SPREADSHEET
AND ON THE FEED SPEC
SPREADSHEET
AND ON THE GRAPHS
SPREADSHEET
Chapter 21

Section V.

PROCEEDURES
B. ADDING INGREDIENTS TO
THE FORMULATION
ENTER NEW INGREDIENTS ON THE
INGREDIENT SPREADSHEET
WHEN YOU GET AN OPTIMAL SOLUTION,
GO TO THE “FEED SPEC” WINDOW

YOU MAY GIVE THIS FEED A UNIQUE NAME, SOMETHING


OTHER THAN “EXAMPLE FEED”, AND PRINT YOUR
RESULTS
Chapter 21

Section V.

PROCEEDURES
C. THE COST OF FEED
RESTRICTIONS
• BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES,
COPY THE % CORN,% SOYBEAN
MEAL, & FORMULA COST TO THE
CHAPTER 21 WORKSHEET, PAGE
21-9
CHANGE THE MAXIMUM PROTEIN
LEVEL FROM 23 TO 100
• AFTER SOLVING THE PROBLEM WITH
NO MAXIMUM ON THE AMOUNT OF
PROTEIN, AGAIN COPY THE %
CORN,% SOYBEAN MEAL, AND
FORMULA COST TO THE CHAPTER 21
WORKSHEET, PAGE 21-9
• DO THE SAME AFTER YOU’VE
CHANGED THE COSTS OF THE
CEREALS
Chapter 21

Section V.

PROCEEDURES
D. ADDING NUTRIENTS TO
THE FORMULATION
ENTER NEW NUTRIENT DATA ON
THE INGREDIENT COMPOSITION
SPREADSHEET
AND ADD NUTRIENT
RESTRICTIONS ON THE
NUTRIENTS SHEET & PRINT YOUR
RESULTS
FEED FORMULATION BASICS

• Print your formulations’ Feed


Specification sheet
• Attach the print out to the Chapter 21
Worksheet and hand it in when all 4
lessons are complete.
