Abstract EN
In this paper, a feed ration problem is presented as a mixed integer programming problem.
An attempt to find the optimal quantities of Moringa oleifera inclusion into the poultry feed ration was done and the problem was solved using the Bat algorithm and the Cplex solver.
The study used findings of previous research to investigate the effects of Moringa oleifera inclusion in poultry feed ration.
The results show that the farmer is likely to gain US $ 0.89 more if Moringa oleifera is included in the feed ration.
Results also show superiority of the Bat algorithm in terms of execution time and number of iterations required to find the optimum solution as compared with the results obtained by the Cplex solver.
Results revealed that there is a significant economic benefit of Moringa oleifera inclusion into the poultry feed ration.
