Nutrition problem usage for horse feed ration production
Králová, Eliška ; Skočdopolová, Veronika (advisor) ; Šindelářová, Irena (referee)
Concern of this bachelor's thesis is to optimize the contents of the daily feed ration for horses, which must meet their nutritional requirements. The first chapter is devoted to the theory of decision problems using linear programming. In the list of typical linear problems there is a closer specification of the nutritional problem, description of its use and a brief mention of its history. Next part deals with horse nutrition, which includes the requirements of the nutrient content of daily ration and the information about basic feed. Then the practical assignment is defined, which is essential for formulating economical and mathematical model, solved using Solver tool in Microsoft Excel. After interpreting the results, the model is extended with new constraints and recalculated. Outcome of this work is the optimal solution for two models that meet the intended objective -- to help the breeder with creating a nutritionally balanced feed ration for horses and minimizing the costs.
