  • Generating growth alternatives
    Publication number: 20030139912
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for determining when a living animal reaches its optimum rate of growth. This information is then used to calculate the optimal parameters for achieving the maximum Return On Investment. The computer determines the optimal number of birds for a flock, type and amount of feed, length of time between hatching and sale to food processor, etc. The computer consists of a microprocessor, random access memory, a storage device, a keyboard, a computer screen, a printer, a math co-processor.

  • Utilization effectiveness of nutrients in a population
    Patent number: 6076043
    Abstract: Nutrition modeling of animal, poultry and marine animals is a critical component of the respective enterprise optimization and managed environment pollution control. The optimization accuracy depends on the description of utilization efficiency of nutrients in a population of animals. The current invention demonstrates that utilization efficiency of nutrients for meat production in a population should be described based on at least three component parts of nutrient utilization, i.e., maintenance, linear gain, and non-linear gain, instead of one only. Efficiencies for maintenance and linear gain are fixed value(s), but nutrient efficiency for non-linear gain is a result of intra-population variation and efficiency of linear gain.
