| dc.description.abstract | Linear programming is an important tool for optimization and shows considerable potential. It is a tool to find solution to a variety of very complex diet problems. In fish farming feed represents maximum of the production cost which increases cost of production. Nutritious diet plays an important role in fish farming for the optimal growth, health and life span of fish. The study on “Mathematical Modeling for optimization of polyculture fish feed” was planned to develop a linear programming model for feed formulation of polyculture fish farming. The data was collected from Dabra Shamsukh, Sundawas, Panihar chak,Rajli, Shahpur village and Bluebird lake of Hisar. The LP model based on farmer’s information was formulated and analyzed. The model suggested least cost composition with only one ingredient which was not practically acceptable because the farmers include all four ingredients. The model was modified using maximum/minimum constraints on ingredients quantity. Also the minimum nutrients’ constraints were relaxed. Three alternate feed plans were suggested for the polyculture fish (fry, fingerling and grower stage). The cost for farmer’s plan was found the highest in comparison to the other three stagewise feed mix plan. If the farmers use the recommendation of feed composition for fry which is maximum of all the three they can save at least ₹687.52 /100kg feed composition. Sensitivity analysis of the developed models showed minimum and maximum range of ingredients for feed mix, where the optimal LP solution will remain unchanged within these range of values of the ingredients | en_US |
