“…However, the disadvantages of the Nonlinear Programming technique are hard in searching global minimum value and certainly needs derivative computation of a particular function that may confined accessible or difficult to compute. Thus, the Nonlinear Programming technique is considered hard and inadequate to handle such complex problems and can be very time-consuming [6][7][8] indeed.…”

This paper reveals the high demand of fish products in many countries, which subsequently highlighted the high demand of grouper fish species for human consumption. This high demand leads to the insufficient supply of wild ocean grouper fish in the market, thus justifying the need for farmed or cultured grouper fish. Basically, in grouper fish farming, large amounts of trash fish are needed as the feed for grouper fish, which is the carnivorous type of fish. However, since the cost of trash fish is too high, searching for alternative ingredients for the feed through modelling of feed formulation is an option for reducing or minimizing the farming cost. This led to the search for methods in giving the best combination of feedstuff ingredients with appropriate nutrients in formulating the feed. One prospective method is the Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) that has been applied in solving similar problems of diet formulation for several types of animals including livestock, poultry and shrimp. Hence, in this paper, an improved EA method known as the SR-SD-EA is proposed highlighting three important EA operators, which are initialization, selection and mutation. A semi random initialization operator is introduced to filter some important constraints thus increase the chances of obtaining feasible formulations or solutions. Subsequently, the novel selection operator embeds the concept of standard deviation in the SR-SD-EA as part of the function in minimizing the total cost of the formulated grouper fish feed. Eventually, the enhanced boundary-based mutation is also introduced in the algorithm to ensure the crucial constraint of the ingredients’ total weight must be met. The overall structure of the SR-SD-EA is presented as a framework, where the three methodological contributions are embedded. The preliminary findings of SR-SD-EA show that the obtained cost computed based on the Best-So-Far feed formulation as the solution is comparable, while all the crucial constraints are fulfilled.

“…The diets were divided into a control treatment (n = 30) based on commercial feed ® ; treatment T1 (n = 30) based on sold-out substrate, wheat germ, and corn tortilla; treatment T2 (n = 30) based on sold-out substrate and wheat germ, and T3 treatment (n = 30) based on wheat germ and corn tortilla (Table 2), according to the calculations made through the Pearson square; this being a practical method when mixing two or more foods that have different concentrations of protein [29]. Metabolic energy was calculated for feed components based on the results of chemical analyses, prior to formulating dietary recipes, based on poultry recommendation guidelines for birds (Table 2).…”

Pilot Study of Diet Supplemented with Sold-Out Substrate of Pleurotus ostreatus in the Feeding of Backyard Broilers

et al. 2023

There are several by-products obtained in agricultural systems that can contribute to small-scale production systems within backyards, in this sense, the production of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) has been integrated into the rural family economy in Mexico. After harvesting the fruiting bodies, the remainder is known as sold-out substrate, this by-product has been destined for other agricultural uses such as: medium for seedlings, vermiculture or fertilizer; however, there are studies where it has been used in the diet of bovine cattle. In this study, the effects of sold-out substrate (corn stubble) of P. ostreatus in the diet of broilers with different percentages of protein, on feed conversion ratio, carcass yield, and broiler meat quality were evaluated. A total of 120 broilers Ross 308 were randomly assigned in 12 pens with concrete floor and curly shaving with an area of 3 m2. During the initial period (1 to 28 days), all broilers were fed commercial feed® mixture. On day 29, the broilers were weighed and divided into four treatment groups and fed diets with different percentages of protein until the end of the experiment. Feed conversion ratio was significantly higher in treatment control (TC) compared to the other treatments; however, the performance parameters were not affected by the diet supplemented with sold-out substrate, likewise, the color and quality of the meat were in a normal range (48 < L* < 51) and with a good amount of crude protein. Sold-out substrate of P. ostreatus from corn stubble presented a high mineral content of Mg, Na, K, Fe, Cu, and Mn suitable to be considered in diets for feeding backyard broilers.

“…Another area that impacts the sustainability of a livestock farm is the feed formulation. In fact, formulating feeds of the livestock by including agricultural by-products would lead to reduced GHG emissions (Alqaisi et al, 2017;Guo and Zhang, 2020;Sihananto et al, 2019;Wijayaningrum et al, 2017). Uyeh et al (2018) used a differential evolution algorithm combined with feed formulation simulations to find the optimal feed formulation for cattle farms.…”
