  • Publication number: 20070026493
    Abstract: A system for generating optimized values for variable inputs to an animal production system. The system includes a simulator engine configured to receive a plurality of animal information inputs and generate a performance projection. At least one of the animal information inputs is designated as a variable input and at least one of the animal information inputs includes animal genotype information. The system further includes an enterprise supervisor engine configured to generate an optimized value for the at least one variable input wherein the optimized value is configured to optimize animal production based on the animal genotype information.

  • Publication number: 20060041413
    Abstract: A system for generating an animal feed formulation based on utilization of nutrients received by an animal. The system includes a simulator engine configured to generate a set of animal requirements based on characteristics of an animal and to generate animal feed formulation input based at least in part on a projected nutrient utilization for the animal and the set of animal requirements. The system further includes a formulator engine configured to receive the animal feed formulation input and generate an optimized animal feed formulation based on the animal feed formulation input.
