Least-Cost Formulation Of Feeds For Prawns, With Particular Reference To Macrobachium Rosenbergii (De Man)

Linear programming was used in least-cost formulation of feeds for Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The constraints were : crude fat of 5 to 10% , gross energy of 4 , 400 cal/g, an amino acid profile similar to that of the prawn and specified amounts of crude protein of either 25% , 30% , 40% or 50% ....
