INFORMATION TO USERS

This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction.

1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity.

2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note w ill appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame.

3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at 1 .e upper le ft hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections w ith small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department.

5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.

INTRODUCTION

Feeding cost is the biggest input cost in livestock produc­ tion. It is estimated that feeding cost represents 50% of the total cost of production in dairy and over 7U% in beef.

Therefore, overall economic efficiency of production is largely dependent on the economic efficiency of feeding.

This dissertation deals with feeding efficiency, or how best to equate nutritional inputs with nutritional outputs.

Here, nutritional outputs refer to nutrient requirements and will be examined first. Thereafter, we will focus our attention on nutritional inputs, or how feeds can be best combined to provide the required nutrients.

An important step in the development of efficient feed­ ing models is the assesment of nutrient requirements for the various classes of livestock. At present, animal sci­ entists have placed their best estimates of requirements in the form of tables, which differ substantially from one world authority to the other. The first problem encoun­ tered when trying to explain these differences is that the assumptions and models underlying the tables are often

- 1 - 2 poorly stated. A second problem is that requirements for each individual nutrient are expressed as a function of output and weight as in:

(1) = g(0 1 W)

where

N = requirements for nutrient i

g = some unspecified function

0 = level of output

W = body weight

This form does not allow the expression of interactions be­ tween classes of nutrients. In a recent review, Oldham

(1984) has reported numerous results showing that energy and protein interact. Now, if a function of the general form

(2) 0 = f (N^ Np I W) is taken instead of (1), then various mathematical forms

for the function f can be proposed, allowing for varying degrees of interaction (substitution) between inputs. Un­

less the interaction is null, then model (2) implies that

minimum cost requirements must vary with the relative pric­

es of nutrients, and cannot be put in tabulated forms.

Traditionaly, agricultural economists have by-passed the

problem by fitting a function of the form: (3) 0 = h(I^IW) i n ' where

h = some unspecified function

= input level of feed i.

Examples of this can be found in Epplin et al. (1980) and

Heady and Bhide (1983). Problems with this approach are numerous :

1. Different functions must be fit for each combination

of feedstuffs. Since the number of feeds tuffs is

large, an almost infinite number of functions have

to be fitted.

2. It fails to recognize the non-uniformity within each

feedstuff. This research will report results show­

ing tremendous levels of variation in composition

within feedstuffs.

3. It does not recognize the almost linear rate of sub­

stitution between feeds tuffs. Clear examples of

this are found in Epplin et al. (1980).

Chapter 2 reports results obtained when various func- tions of the type expressed by (2) were fitted. Average daily gain of beef calves was the dependent variable, while metabolizable energy and crude protein intake were the nu­ tritional inputs. Eventhough direct application of the re­ sults is not warranted, the methodology presented should be instrumental in the future development of reliable esti­ mates of nutrient requirements. 4

In chapter 3, the problem of optimal combination of feeds as nutritional inputs is reevaluated. The current standard method for solving such a problem is linear pro­ gramming (LP). However, there are some major assumptions in LP, one of which relates to deterministic parameters.

This assumption cannot hold in the feed formulation problem since feed composition is never known with certainty. Very little work has been reported on ways to improve over regu­ lar LP solutions. Van de Panne and Popp (1963) have shown a model for minimum-cost cattle feed under probabilistic protein constraints. However, the size of their model was ridiculously small and uncharacteristic of problems seen in practice. Nott and Comb (1967) simplified the problem of probabilistic constraints to the point where results are seriously biased. The same can be said for the. work re­ ported by Rahman and Bender (1971). Reyes et al. (1981) used a dynamic approach to ration formulation, setting the problem as a multistage LP model. Their results showed promises. Recently, the ration formulation problem has been presented as a mult ip le-goal programming problem (Reh- man and Romero, 1984). Appropriate weights to be put on each specific goal are still totally undetermined.

But what is wrong with using LP for ration formulation?

Could it be that one is desperately trying to find tiny faults in a method which appears to be so successful? The 5 answer resides in the assesment of success itself. This research will report clear evidences of substantial levels of variation in the composition of feedstuffs. This im­ plies that some parameters in the LP are stochastic.

Whether performances of an LP model are affected to a sig­ nificant extent by such a deviation from the assumption of deterministic parameters remains to be determined. Either the LP model will prove to be 'robust' enough so that devi­ ations from the assumption can be ignored, or its perform­ ances will be affected, requiring a different method to tackle the problem. In chapter 3, different methods are proposed for dealing with uncertainty in composition of feedstuffs. When applied to practical problems and com­ pared to regular LP solutions, some of these methods showed performances that should warrant their utilization, espe­ cially by the feed industry. Chapter II

ENERGY-PROTEIN RESPONSE FUNCTIONS FOR GROWTH

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Feed costs represent approximately 70% of the total costs of production for a feedlot enterprise. Production re­ searchers have dedicated much of their efforts toward ob­ taining more reliable estimates of animal requirements for various classes of nutrients. These requirements are used

typically as constraints in least-cost ration models. With this approach, the composition and the cost of the ration is dependent largely on the values used as requirements.

However, world authorities in animal nutrition, the Agri­ cultural Research Council (ARC), the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and the National Research

Council (NRC), do not agree on the magnitude of these re­ quirements. It is unclear which set of requirements is

'best' under U.S.A. conditions. Least-cost rationing based on linear mathematical programming also assumes no substi­ tution between major classes of nutrients such as energy and protein, since the requirements are fixed tabular val­ ues for a given physiological state. However, both the NRC and the ARC have stated that protein requirements are de-

— 6 — 7

pendent on energy concentration, which Implies indirectly

that substitution does exist.

Failure to account explicitly for energy-protein substi­

tution can lead to lost profit opportunities for livestock

feeding enterprises. Profit maximization in an environment

of changing relative prices for energy and protein necessi­

tates shifts in the energy-proteln ratio. This requires

detailed knowledge of the underlying production technology

and the explicit tradeoffs between energy and protein in

the process of weight gain in livestock. Different func­

tional forms can be chosen, some of which offer a response

surface that is more acceptable on the grounds of actual

biological theory, while some others give a more tractable

function in terms of economic optimum.

This work attempts to combine biological considerations with production economics theory in the study of nutrition­

al requirements. The objectives are:

1. to show the applicability of the principle of ener-

gy-protein substitution in the growth of cattle,

2. to empirically substantiate the substitution princi­

ple by directly estimating the weight gain produc­

tion function,

3. to analyze the empirical results both from a biolo­

gical and an economics point of view, including the

potential costs incured by a misspecification of the

production function form. 8

The first section reviews the physiology and the

problems associated with protein and energy requirements of

growing livestock. In section II, we report the results

obtained when different functional forms were fitted to re­

late gain as a function of weight, energy and protein in­

take. Section III calculates the cost of using misspeci-

fied functional forms as the basis of least-cost rationing.

We conclude on the basis of the sample data used and the best production function estimates, that substitution of

energy and protein is possible in the feeding of livestock.

However, the elasticity of substitution is small and there­ fore the NRC and ARC recommendations, which do not allow substitution of energy-protein, do not result in signifi­ cantly higher feed costs per unit of weight gain.

2.2 FROM THE PHYSIOLOGY TO A PRODUCTION FUNCTION

Energy concentration in the diet affects protein utiliza­

tion (Garret, 1977; Journet and Verite, 1977; Orskov, 1977;

Preston, 1972 and 1980). Energy and protein interact be­ cause protein can be used by the animal as a source of en­ ergy. Protein is also a necessary nutrient for various es­ sential synthetic processes in the body. Amino acids, the components of protein, are required by all cells and tis­ sues in the body. Many secretions in the body, including enzymes, hormones, mucin, and milk require specific assort­ 9

ments of amino acids. Hence there exists a strict minimum

requirement for protein at a given physiological state,

which is essentially the quantity of protein needed to cov­

er the essential functions. Above this minimum, protein

can be used as energy but with a different efficiency than

lipids and carbohydrates. This implies that within pre­

scribed limits, protein and energy may be substituted for

each other with no detrimental effects on animal health or

rate of weight gain.

The National Research Council (NRC) estimates protein

requirements by a factorial method, which attempts to meas­

ure separately the different components of the total re­

quirements and to vary each component as changes in age and

functional activity of the animal require (Blaxter and

Mitchell, 1949). The problem with this approach is that it

does not take into account interactions between the compo­

nents of requirements which are likely to exist, and the

influence of the non-protein fraction on nitrogen metabo­ lism.

The British Agricultural Research Council (ARC), and the

Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) in

France, use a different approach to estimate protein re­ quirements. They calculate the amount of amino acids-N of microbial origin that could be retained in the body for tissue synthesis when the maximal rate of fermentation of a 10 particular energy input is achieved. This amount of amino acid N is compared with the total tissue needs for the par­ ticular energy input. If the amount of microbial amino acid N available to the tissues is greater than the tissue needs, the N requirement is the amount of degraded N needed by the rumen microorganisms. If the microbial amino acid N is less than the tissue needs, then the difference must be supplied by amino acids from undegraded dietary protein.

Many of the coefficients used by the ARC and INRA are based on limited scientific information. As a result, the ARC and the INRA requirements differ widely (Waldo and Glenn,

1980 and 1984). Even though this approach does consider some effects of energy on the protein requirements by in- puting energy into the rate of fermentation, it does not take into account the basic principle of substitution be­ tween energy and protein. If energy can be substituted for protein and vice versa, with no adverse effect on animal health and weight gain, then feeding requirements for pro­ tein and energy should vary with the relative prices of en­ ergy and protein. Recommendations which do not recognize this potential substitution can lead to economic ineffi­ ciency over time.

Research studies have generally not addressed the possi­ bility of substitution. There are some exceptions however.

The ARC recognizes this substitution principle, but it does 11

not incorporate it into its working model (ARC, 1980 pl59).

Protein-energy subtitution has been well demonstrated in

poultry (Crampton and Harris, 1969). In 1966, Winchester

and Harvey reported a study on the effects of protein and

energy intake on nitrogen retention and growth of cattle.

Their results showed substitution of these two nutrients in a beef cattle ration. Their research design, while ad­

dressing the question of energy-protein substitution, was

not complete. Body weight should have been included in the model since maintenance requirements increase with body size. Their parameter estimates were biased since weight varied among experimental units (Snedecor and Cochran, 1980 p353-54). Also, these authors only considered a polynomial model, while other alternatives could be considered.

To empirically test the hypothesis that significant en- ergy-protein substitution can be achieved in the feeding of livestock, a production function relating weight gain per day to protein and energy intake per day can be statisti­ cally estimated. From this estimated function, an auxil­ iary function or isoquant can be derived which relates the level of energy and protein required to maintain a given rate of weight gain. The curvature of this isoquant func­ tion is indicative of the degree of substitution between the energy and protein inputs. 12

The process of fitting a production function to observed

data is not without problems. Discussions of the proper­

ties of some common functional forms used in agriculture

response studies are given in Heady and Dillon (1961).

Cady and Laird (1969) have shown that an incorrect choice of functional form can be a source of bias. Fuller (1969) has stated that "in practical situation, the choice of functional form will rest upon theoreticalconsiderations, ease of estimation and acceptance by the data". In a biol­ ogical process, a function is desired that:

1 . is continuous

2. possesses continous first derivatives

3. if. easy to estimate

4. gives a good statistical fit

5. has reasonable biological implications

6. permits easy computation of economic optima.

The last two characteristics tend to conflict. It is not uncommon to find different functions that satisfy require­ ments 1 to 4, but result in significant differences in both biological and economic implications. Hall (1983) has re­ ported such findings when different functional forms were used to estimate yields of three crops in response to lime application. Bay and Schoney (1982) reported similar re­ sults when corn yields, in response to nitrogen and potas­ sium fertilization, were predicted by four different meth- 13

ods. Lerman and Bie (1975) have shown some drastic

economic consequences from the choice of model which re­

lates feeding costs to the percentage crude protein in the

diet. Their work also s.iowed the importance of adjusting

the animal requirements and implicitly the characteristics

of the diet, to the economic environment.

2.3 METHODOLOGY AND DATA

2.3.1 Animals

Data used in this study wereobtained from studies of com­

pensatory growth in cattle subsequently reported by Win­

chester and Harvey (1966). Eighty-four purebred, crossbred

or grade cattle of the beef type breeds were used plus 8

crossbred dairy-beef type animals, which were dropped from our analysis since they represent a different type of ani­ mal probably possessing a different response function.

Details of the management of the experimental animals and methods of measuring body weight have been reported elsewhere (Winchester and Ellis, 1957; Winchester, Hiner and Scarborough, 1957).

2.3.2 Diets

Diets were composed basically of corn and corn by-products

(corncobs, cornstarch), a protein source (linseed meal), supplemental minerals and vitamins, and a variable amount 14 of alfalfa hay (Winchester and Harvey, 1966). Diets ranged in energy levels too low to maintain body weight to those as high in energy as the animal would consume (Table 1).

Protein content ranged from 5 to 25 % crude protein on a dry matter basis.

Digestible protein and energy of the diets were estimat­ ed on the basis of chemical analysis. The original data were converted to current units used by the NRC. Digesti­ ble protein was converted to crude protein, using the equa­ tion reported by Winchester and Harvey (1966). Digestible energy was converted to metabolizable energy with the equa­ tion of Vermorel (1978). 15

2.3.3 Statistical methods and models

To Investigate the hypothesis of substitution between ener­

gy and protein, it is necessary to estimate an explicit

production function from the implicit function defined by:

(4) F(G,E,P,W) = 0

where

G = Rate of weight gain per day

E = Energy intake in Meal per day

P = Protein intake in kg per day

W = Weight of the animal in kg.

However, the implicit function does not indicate what alge­

braic form the true response function should take. Recom­

mendations by the NRC imply a function of the form:

(5 ) G = mi n 1. I «1 «2 where

units of nutrient i per unit of growth.

This functional form implies no substitution between energy and protein. In contrast to this fixed factor production function, four functions were estimated which allowed vary­

ing degrees of energy/protein substitution. These four

functional forms were selected based on the criteria stated

earlier.

2.3.3.1 Polynomial model 17

The first model considered was an additive third degree

polynomial mooel with interaction terms for all variables.

Multiple least squares regression procedures were used to

estimate the parameters for crude protein intake, metaboli­

zable energy intake and body weight, with rate of gain as a

dependent variable. The initial model was the following:

2 2 2 G =b„+bE+bP+bW+ b EW + b E + b P + b_EP 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

(6) + bgPW + bgW^ + b^gEPW + b^^E^p + b^gE^y + b^^EP^

+ bi^P^W +

+ e

where

E = Metabolizable energy intake (Mcal/day)

P = Crude protein intake (kg/day)

W = (W^- W) = corrected body weight

W^= Body weight of the ith animal (kg)

W = Average body weight of the n animals (163.59 kg)

G = Average daily gain of the ith animal (kg/day)

e = Random error N(0,(7^)

The type IV sum of squares was used to test only the last term in the model (highest degree). When non-signifi­ cant (Pr>0.10), the term was dropped and the reduced model 18 was fit in order to test for the next term. This procedure has been outlined by Freund and Littell (1981), and used by

Harvey (1977). In this paper, the polynomial model will be denoted as POLY.

2.3.3.2 Non-linear model

From the estimates obtained on the POLY model it was hy­ pothesized that the gain response would be strictly in­ creasing with energy, strictly decreasing with weight and curvilinear of a second order in protein. The initial mod­ el was ;

b b b, b^ G = b„+bW +bE +bP + bP + bW E 0 1 3 5 6 7 (7) ^2 ^4 ^2 ^4 + bgW P + bgE P + b^^W E P + e

where ;

W = Body weight ikg/100)

E , P and G are as defined in (6).

The NLIN procedure of SAS was used since the model is non­ linear in the parameters. This model will be referred to as NLIN.

2.3.3.3 Transcendental logarithmic production function 19

Generally referred to as a TRANSLOG function, this form has both linear and quadratic terms in the natural log of an arbitrary number of inputs (Berndt and Christensen, 1973).

It is considered a general form that imposes no separabili­ ty restrictions a priori, and is economically tractable.

This functional form has gained considerable popularity since it was first proposed (Christensen et al., 1971).

The specific model considered was:

G '= b^ + b^lnP + b^lnE + b^lnW + b^(lnP)^ + b^(lnE)^

(8) 2 + bg(lnW) + bylnP X InE + bglnE X InW + bglnP X InW

+ e

where:

W = Body weight (kg)

G' = ln(G + 1.0)

G = Average daily gain (kg/day)

P and E are as defined in (6).

The dependent variable gain was transformed by adding 1 kg so that there would be no attempt to take the log of a non-positive number. This figure should be close to the daily weight loss of fasting cattle. 20

2.3.3.4 Cobb-Douglas

This form, often referred to as the POWER function, has no

plateau (strictly increasing or decreasing in all the in­

puts) and has been included since it is used widely. The

specific model considered was:

bi b£ b^ (9) G'=b^P E W e

where :

G', P, E, W are as defined in (8).

2.4 STATISTICAL RESULTS

The partial regression coefficient estimates for the four response functions, with their standard errors, are given in table 2 . Four terms in POLY and two in NLIN were de­ leted as a result of the stepdown procedure. The four mod­ els fit the data well with R squares higher than 0.90 and standard error of estimates less than .085 kg/day.

The functions are plotted in three dimensions in figures

1 to 4 . In each of these plots, body weight was set at

200 kg. This value is the closest weight to the average of this experiment for which the NRC and ARC give recommended requirements. It is obvious that the functional form has a drastic effect on the response surface. These differences will be quantified in a later section. 21

2.5 INTERPRETATION

2.5.1 Phys1ca I

Estimates from all four models suggest the existence of

substitution between energy and protein. If substitution

does not exist, the inputs would be complementary with a

fixed factor response surface. Under the NRC recommenda­

tions, the implied production function is of the form given

by (5) which is depicted in figure 10 . If this model is

true, a plot of the residuals (observed - predicted values) versus the predicted weight gain from any of the four mod­

els would show a definite pattern depicted in figure 11 .

This pattern never showed up in the analysis of the residu­ als. This fact combined with the good fit observed with any of the four models is interpreted as strong evidence of energy-protein substitution. The non-substitution model also assumes that gain reaches a plateau at a certain pro­ tein level, Po, which is a function of the energy level.

However, there is evidence in the literature that gain de­ creases when protein is fed at a higher level than Po

(ARC).

The NRC and ARC adjusted recommended requirements are shown in figure 6 to 9 . These values were adjusted from ones published in the original since one set of requirements cannot lay on the isoquants of the four dif­ ferent models. The adjustment was made in such a way that ^ 3

Figure 11. Pattern of residuals expected if the fixed factor is the 'true' model and a smooth function is fitted. = observed gain, = predicted gain 35

the reported requirements are on the specific isoquant at

points with the same energy to protein ratio as the ones

from the original references. This ratio is assumed con­

stant by the ARC at 30.8 Meal ME per kg CP. The same ratio

is consistently lower for the NRC requirements and varies

slightly with the rate gain level considered (23.3 at main­

tenance and 21.3 at .5 kg/day).

Table 3 reports the computed marginal rate of technical

substitution (MRTS) of protein for energy at the predeter­

mined adjusted NRC and ARC requirements. The MRTS increas­

es with an increase in gain for the TRANSLOG and POWER mod­

els. As a general rule, the MRTS increases in the

following model order: POLY, NLIN, TRANSLOG, POWER.

The variation in elasticity of factor substitution as

defined below, can also be used to examine the functions.

(10) p = % AE = = MRTS % Ap 3P [t]

Elasticities for three levels of MRTS and three rates of

gain are in table 4. The POWER function forces this elas­

ticity to be constant at a ratio -bl/b2, which is equal to

-0.16. The POLY function yields values of P that are con­ sistently lower than with any other models. The NLIN is intermediate between the POLY and POWER functions. With respect to p, the TRANSLOG is generally close to the POWER function. 36

A final way of comparing the functions is to look at the

elasticity of substitution as defined by:

(II) , . Z ' F . “ Ill & i n % aMRTS iW /mpp U1mppmp Pj,J U J Table 5 reports elasticities calculated at three levels of

MRTS and three rates of gain. With the POWER function, this elasticity is forced to be constant at 1.0. The POLY function gives values of e much lower than with the other models. The NLIN model shows elasticities intermediate be­ tween the POLY and POWER funtions. The TRANSLOG model gives elasticities that are always higher than unity.

These results suggest some large differences in the sensi­ tivity of the models' optima to changing economic situ­ ations. Results are not shown for different body weight, but as could be expected from the isoquant maps of figures

5 and 6, the elasticity of MRTS increases with body weight, i.e., 3e/3W > 0. One should evaluate the models in terms of their biological significance before examining more closely the problem of sensitivity.

As seen in figures 5 to 9, only the POLY model showed a true minimum crude protein requirement, which is the level of protein that is both an element of a given Isoquant and the ridgeline found by setting f ^ to 0, i.e.. 39

This way, the POLY model yields an estimate of 132 g/day of

CP as an estimate of the true minimum protein requirements for maintenance of a 200 kg animal. Assuming a crude pro­ tein digestibility of 50%, this value is equivalent to 1.24 g DP/kg W*^^, where DP represents digestible protein and

Wthe metabolic body weight. Early in the century,

Arrasby (1922) estimated the DP maintenance requirements to be around 2.8 g DP/kg W H e pointed out however that maintenance requirements ranged between 0.97 and 4.45 g/kg

depending on the supply of non-nitrogenous materials.

More recently, Elliot (1963) showed that body weight of cattle can be maintained when fed a diet containing only

48% of Armsby's maintenance DP level, i.e., 1.7 g DP/kg . 75 W . Further results from the same laboratory have con­ firmed that the maintenance DP requirements of cattle are between 25 and 50% of Armsby's value, i.e., between 0.7 and

1.4 g DP/kg (Elliott and Topps, 1963 a and b; Elliott and Topps, 1964). Our estimate of 1.24 g DP/kg is well within that range. By extrapolation, all the other models assume that an animal could be maintained on a ni­ trogen-free diet, which is biological nonsense since prote­ in is needed for specific functions within the body. 41

Although the POLY and NLIN models do not a priori Impose

minimum energy requirements, results of the unconstrained

estimation of these models indicates the existence of such

a minimum. With the same approach as the one discussed

previously for protein, the following values of true mini­

mum energy requirements for maintenance of a 200 kg animal

are obtained: 4.21 Meal ME/day and 4.32 Meal ME/day for the

POLY and NLIN model respectively. Reported per unit of

metabolic body weight, these are equivalent to 79.2 and

81.2 Kcal ME/kg W"^^. These values are lower than the 104

Kcal ME/kg reported by Moe et al. ( 1972). The latter value was determined at an intermediate level of protein

and does not represent a true minimum. If one takes the

energy requirements for maintenance from the POLY model at an intermediate level of protein (.180 kg CP/day, 5.02 Meal

ME /day), 95 Kcal ME/kg is obtained, which is a value much closer to the value reported by Moe et al. (1972).

It seems that only the POLY model generates extrapola­ tion that has some biological sense. But, as one can easi­ ly verify, this particular function is not easy to work with and the conditions for economic optima cannot be de­ rived analytically. The results shown in the paper were found by numerical methods and have been estimated by com­ puter approximation. In that respect, the tractability of the POWER function makes it appealing. Since within the 42 range of our experimental data, all four models yielded a very good fit, it seems advisable at this point not to dis­ card any model solely on their poor biological behavior when extrapolated.

2.5.2 Economic

Our interest was to find the minimum cost requirements, i.e., mi nimiz e

C = Pp P + Pg E

(13) subject to :

f(E,P|W) = Go

where

Go = desired rate of gain (kg/day)

Pg = price per unit of energy ($/Mcal ME)

= price per unit of protein ($/kg CP)

E, P and W as defined in (4)

The problem stated as a Lagrangian function is to minimize:

(14) L = Pg E + Pp P + A(f(E,P|w) - Go)

The necessary conditions are given by: 43

(15) 21 = P_ + Af = 0 3E ^ ^

(16) IL = P + Afp = 0 3?

(17) IL = f(E,p|w) - Go = 0 3X

The first two conditions can be combined:

(1 8) fp Pp I Pp \ and thus MRTS = - I I E E \ e J

These conditions can be easily solved for the POWER func­ tion, but are not as easily solved for the other models. A computer approximation was used in those cases and the point of minimum costs was found as the point on a given isoquant with the same slope (MRTS) as the isocost slope

(negative ratio of prices).

Prices of corn grain and soybean meal (SBM) were used to estimate Pp and Pe, the respective prices of protein and energy. Alternative sources of protein or energy that could be cheaper in some regions or at some time of the year were not considered. The possibility of using non­ protein nitrogen (urea for example) as a possible source of protein was also not considered. However, since it is cur­ rent practice to use corn - SBM in most feedlot operations, those restrictions should not affect the general conclu­ sions to a large extent. For a given set of prices of corn and SBM, Pp and Pe were found by solving the following set of corn and SBM equations respectively: 44

(19) 3,088.3 Pe + 89 Pp = 100

2,803.5 Pe + 440 Pp = 100 X Ratio

where

Pe = price per unit of ME ($/mcal)

Pp = price per unit of CP ($/kg)

Ratio = ratio of prices of SBM ($/ton)

to corn grain ($/ton)

The coefficients in the equation (e.g. 3,088.3) represent

standard composition per ton of corn and SBM. This proce­

dure was used since both corn and SBM contain a certain

amount of energy and protein. Corn and SBM prices were

then converted into energy and protein prices. The right hand side coefficients could be replaced by the direct prices of corn and SBM, but historical prices would yield

estimates of Pp and Pe that contain inflation effects. The procedure used indexes all prices to a value of $100/ton for corn ($2.80/bushel) so that the resulting estimates of

Pp and Pe are only affected by the change in the ratio of prices of SBM to corn. Annual average U.S. prices for corn and SBM from 1949 to 1980 were taken from the United States

Department of Agriculture - Agicultural Statistics. The ratio of prices of SBM to corn grain varied considerably between 1945 and 1981, with a range of 1.03 to 4.08. Con­ 45 sequently, the Pp to Pe price ratio varied tremendously, with a range of 1.08 to 128.2 (Table 6). This indicates a significant variation in the optimum point due to fluctua­ tions of prices.

Minimum costs requirements for each of the four models and for each of the 32 sets of annual prices were computed at three rates of gain. Average minimum cost values, stan­ dard deviations and minimum and maximum values are given in table 7. On the average, the POLY model gave consistently higher crude protein requirements, followed closely by NLIN and then by the POWER and TRANSLOG. Similarly, the POLY model gave the lowest ME requirements while the three other models gave generally similar ME requirements. As expect­ ed, these requirements showed a substantial variation due to price fluctuations. The magnitude of this variation was dependent on the model under consideration, the POLY model having the lowest variation in both protein and energy. It is of interest to note how close the NRC requirements are to the mean requirements given by the POLY model (Table 8).

Considering that the POLY model gives the lowest variation in requirements (low e ), then the use of NRC require­ ments should result in a low loss of profit if the 'true' response surface is given by the POLY function.

The minimum cost requirements are converted to amounts of corn and SBM in table 9. Large differences in the 46

amounts of corn and SBM required are observed between mod­

els. For each model, these amounts show appreciable varia­

tions depending upon the relative corn and SBM prices.

A final analysis is provided in order to estimate the

possible savings by switching from fixed nutrient require­

ments. Since the 'true' model is unknown, we adopted the procedure of Bay and Schoney (1982) originating from Havli- cek and Seagraves (1962). In this method, a true model is selected and the optimum input levels from each alternative model are used to predict levels of output from the 'true' model. Net returns are then calculated for each alterna­ tive model and the difference between these and net returns from the 'true' model represents the cost of being wrong.

The cost of being wrong, i.e., choosing the inappropriate production model upon which to base least-cost input deci­ sions can be measured as either of two components. First, the choice of a wrong model will result in a greater than least-cost combination of inputs for the expected level of gain per feeding period. Second, the actual weight gain will not be as high as expected, resulting in a lower mar­ ket weight at the termination of the feeding period. In the first case, the total revenue from the sale of live­ stock will be the same regardless of the correctness of the production model used to calculate the least-cost energy and protein ratio. However, the cost of the suboptimal in- 50

In this graph, it is assumed that the only error is in the ratio of inputs and that the two different production models being used are evaluated at the same level of output per feeding period. Also, the case is represented for a production model with substantial substitution between inputs, denoted SS, and one with no implied substitution possibilities, labelled FF. The opti­ mal input combination is given as point A on the assumption that SS is the correct model. Point B is the recommenda­ tion corresponding to the incorrect model for the same ex­ pected weight gain. This would correspond to the case of comparing NRC recommended feeding rates with the POLY mod­ el, after adjusting the recommendation so the implied pro­ duction levels are the same. The total cost of the input combinations can be expressed as the quantity of either en­ ergy or protein multiplied by their respective prices. As long as the imputed total cost line for input point B is strictly to the right of the same cost line for A, we can conclude that the cost implied for B is greater than that for the correct model SS, point A.

The second case is illustrated in figure 13 . In this case we drop the assumption that the implied levels of weight gain are the same and allow the case where the iso­ quants can cross each other. The correct isoquant is la- 52

beled as S'S' and the incorrect one is labeled F'F', We

can see that at the given price ratio for energy and prote­ in, the imputed cost of the wrong model will be lower than for the correct model, i.e., point D versus point C, re­ spectively. The cost of choosing the wrong model comes about not because of inflated feed cost with equivalent revenues, but because of lower gross revenues due to under­ feeding. This would correspond to the case where we are comparing two different models both of which imply some in­ put substitution. In the analysis which follows, we have accounted for either of these costs depending upon which is relevant.

60% of the indexed price of corn grain per ton. This ratio of price represents the 1949-80 average ratio of prices of beef at Chicago (1949-65) and Omaha (1966-80) to the price of corn grain per ton.(l) This analysis was performed using annual prices and optimum points from 1949 to 1981, at three levels of gain.

The calculated profit loss incured by the fixed require­ ments models (NRC, ARC) vary depending on the true model chosen. The loss is only 0.5 cent/head/day if one uses the

NRC requirements, assuming that POLY is the true model.

This amounts to about $1.50 per head for a full feeding period (300 days). Even though the use of minimum costs requirements instead of fixed requirements can be accom­ plished at a low cost, it is not clear if these theoretical savings are of enough magnitude to be attractive in prac­ tice. However, the MRTS and its elasticity increase with body weight. Over a full growing period (200 to 450 kg) our estimates of average lost profit are conservative since the magnitude of loss increases over the feeding period.

The range of our data with respect to weight does not allow analysis for a heavier animal. It is also likely that po­ tential costs increase with weight and the timing of the feeding period might be an important factor to consider.

Until more evidence is presented on the magnitude of the energy-protein substitution, it appears that following the

NRC recommendations would be reasonably safe. 57

2.6 CONCLUSION

This research provided evidence of protein-energy substitu­ tion in the growth of cattle. Among the four models that were proposed, the polynomial model seems to be the one that is biologically most meaningful. However, direct ap­ plication of this function is not warranted. Data used were old (mid-fifties) and were not obtained on the cross­ bred type of animal the industry is using now. Animals on this experiment were in a study of compensatory growth, which can alter the nitrogen and energy metabolism. This leads to bias estimates when results are used with animals following a normal growth. One also cannot ignore that an­ imals used were much lighter than the average ones used by a feedlot operation (350 kg). The approach used was static in considering only a body weight of 200 kg. Since it is likely that the costs of being wrong increase with the weight of the animals, the possible savings by using mini­ mum requirements compared to fixed requirements should be larger than the ones reported here. Finally, the models studied involved few variables. A more general model could be developed that would consider other factors known to af­ fect rate of gain, such as the breed, frame size, sex, body condition, use of growth stimulants, environmental factors and estimated genetic potential. With such a model, and with the use of dynamic techniques, the analysis could be 58 taken further by determining levels of inputs needed for profit maximization. Chapter III

UNCERTAINTY IN COMPOSITION OF FEEDSTUFFS

3 .1 INTRODUCTION

Over the last few decades, ration formulation has evolved from mystic recipes to a scientific approach using modern mathematical tools. Development of high speed computers has allowed the coding of efficient optimization algor­ ithms, such as the revised simplex in the case of linear programming (LP). This procedure has been used successful­ ly to solve problems in civil and chemical engineering, medicine, computer science, agriculture and transportation

(Coffin, 1982; Feldman and Curry, 1982).

The exact origin of using LP for ration formulation can be debated but came early in the mathematical programming developments (Waugh, 1951; Hutton and Allison, 1957). The procedure is now widely used in this country. Efficient programs for least-cost rations are made available to farm­ ers through the State Cooperative Extension Services, like

Wisconsin (Schmidt and Howard, 1981), Virginia (Staling and

Jones, 1983), New York (Milligan et al., 1981), and Ohio

- 59 - 60

(Pritchard and Staubus, 1981). Design considerations of such a program have been clearly stated by Black and Hlubik

(1980). LP has been used also by California researchers in an attempt to develop maximum-profit rations (Bath, 1975).

Their program is now available to users by remote computer terminals (Bath and Bennett, 1980).

There are some major implicit assumptions in the basic linear programming model, including: divisibility, propor­ tionality, additivity (independence), no "either/or" activ­ ities, and deterministic parameters. Later in this paper, we shall explain and discuss the implications of these as­ sumptions . For many years, it has been assumed that ration formulation by LP was meeting these assumptions, mainly for « practical since no other alternative was available.

The assumption of deterministic parameters is not realistic since feedstuff prices are not always perfectly known, nut­ rient requirements vary among animals within groups and feedstuff composition is never known with certainty. Under these conditions, the LP model should be altered so as to take into account the uncertainty of the parameters . This sort of model has been labeled as chance-constrained pro­ gramming (CCP), a member of the large family of stochastic programming (SP).

Dantzig (1955) is probably the first author that has considered the implications of uncertainty in a linear pro- 61 gramming model. The first basic theory on CCP is due to

Charnes and Cooper (1959 and 1963). Since then, the method has been applied successfully by Van de Panne and Popp

(1963) to a minimum-cost cattle feed under probabilistic protein constraints; Lohani and Saleemi (1982) on water- quality management; De, Acharya and Sahu (1982)on capital budgeting and Guildman (1983) on supply, storage and ser­ vice reliability decisions by gas distribution companies .

A stochastic approach to feed formulation could not only improve economic performance of livestock, but it could also improve the reliability of commercial feeds. Hanks

(1982) reports some alarming results on commercial feed analysis. Out of 3,259 samples analyzed by the feed con­ trol program in Indiana, the following proportions did not meet their implied feed analysis (tag values): 12.5% for crude protein, 11.2% for ether extract, 4.7% for crude fi­ ber, 15.4% for calcium, 5.7% for phosphorus and 17.3% for sodium chloride. The combined rate of failure is not re­ ported. Because correlation coefficients between nutrients are generally between -0.5 and 0.5, the global rate of failure has to be larger than 20%. As will be shown, det­ erministic LP can be held partly responsible for such a poor performance from the feed industry. 62

1. Outline models and solution procedures to incorpo­

rate probabilistic constraints in a least-cost or

maximum-profit ration.

2. Evaluate the seriousness of assuming deterministic

parameters in terms of animal performances and eco­

nomic efficiency.

This research will address these needs with the following specific objectives;

1. Estimate the variance-covariance matrix of nutrients

within each of the major feeds used in North Ameri­

ca .

2. Determine the acceptability of assuming a multivari­

ate normal distribution of nutrients within each

feed.

3. Test the efficiency and accuracy of proposed algor­

ithms for solving simple-chance-constrained program-

mi ng .

4. Test efficiency and accuracy of proposed models for

solving joint-chance-constrained programming.

5. Determine the effect of certainty level of ration

composition on feeding costs. 63

3.2 LITERATURE REVIEW

Traditlonaly, least-cost rations have been formulated using a linear programming approach. As a first step, the linear programming model will be discussed with its assumptions and consequences. Then the theory of mathematical program­ ming under uncertainty will be reviewed with emphasis on chance-constrained programming. Finally, some results found in the literature on least-cost or maximum-profit ra- tinns under uncertainty will be reported.

3.2.1 Least-cost ration as a^ linear programming problem

3.2.1.1 The model

In the case of minimization (least-cost rations), linear programming involves selection of a set of structural vari­ ables and their level of activity that minimizes a linear objective function subject to a series of linear restric­ tions or constraints. In algebraic terms, the model is:

r Minimize Z = j^j^j j = 1, ..., n

(20) Subject to: ^ ^ij^j ^i 1=1» •••» m

X. k 0 1

The coefficients of the structural variables in the objec­ tive function, c ., are typically cost per unit for the j J feedstuff, . The b^ represent nutritional requirements, while a^. is the quantity of the i^^ nutrient per unit of the j^^ feed. 64

3.2.1.2 The assumptions.

The major assumptions in LP are: divisibility, proportion­

ality, additivity, no "either/or" activities, and determin­

istic parameters (Black and Hlubik, 1980).

Divisibility means that all decision variables (e.g.

quantity of feed i) can be divided into any fraction. In

farm decision models, this assumption rarely holds, as it

is very difficult, for example, to buy 2.5 tractors. But

for all practical purposes, this assumption holds in the

feed formulation problem.

Proportionality means that for any given decision vari­

able, X., its contribution to cost is c.X. and its contri- J J J bution to the i^^ constraint is a..X.. If X. is doubled, ij J J so is its contribution to cost and to each of the con­ straints (i.e., if 1 kg of soybean meal contributes 490g of crude protein, then 2 kg contribute 980g) . However the nu­

tritional value of some feedstuff is known to be greater when fed in small amounts than at higher amounts, which clearly violates the proportionality assumption. However, the non-proportional effect is generally small, and could be easily accomodated in a linear programming environment by using step-functions, unless it represents increasing returns to the input.

Additivity implies that the total cost is the sum of all the individual costs, which is clearly met by the feed for­ 65

mulation problem, and that the total contribution to the

i*"^ restriction is the sum of the contributions of the in­

dividual feedstuff. This is to say that feedstuffs do not

interact with each other. The presence of associative ef­

fects would violate this assumption (Byers et al., 1975).

But these effects are possibly due to an unaccounted time

effect (like differences in fermentation rates), which

could be considered in a dynamic approach, like multi-peri­

od models.

"Either/or" activities cannot be handled directly by the

simplex algorithm, a very popular and efficient algorithm

to solve LP. For example, it is impossible to include a

constraint of the form "either include ingredient A in the

ration or ingredient B, but not both". However, "either/

or'' choices are one of the most easily solved mixed integer programming problems (Pfaffenberger and Walker, 1976).

Furthermore, multiple LP runs using simplex could give the

same results provided that the number of "either/or" vari­

ables is limited.

Deterministic implies that the parameters (i.e., c ^, a ^^ and b ) are known with certainty. Nutrient values, a^^, are never known with certainty in practical problems. Fox

(1977) reported an estimated coefficient of variation for protein in Michigan corn silage in the order of 15%. Also, nutrient requirements b^: vary among animals within groups, due to biological variations. 6 6

3.2.1.3 Consequences of uncertainty

As stated previously, the regular LP model assumes certain­

ty of the parameters. For a feed manufacturer, this as­

sumption holds for the c^ and since the ingredients are

already purchased at the time the the ration is formulated

and the composition of the ration is perfectly known from

the guaranteed analysis. The situation is different on the

farm. The prices (cy) are not necessarily perfectly known at the time the ration is formulated. The represent the average requirementsof all similar animals (size) in a similar physiological state (milk production and composi­ tion). No doubt that there are some biological variations around these computed values. Finally, the nutrient val­ ues, aUj, are never known with certainty, and this is true both for the feed manufacturer and the farmer. This fact is obvious if the ingredients are not chemically analyzed for their nutrient composition. But even if they are, un­ certainty remains as the variation due to sampling and the analytical procedures are still present.

To evaluate the consequences of the deterministic ap­ proach, let us define the following:

(21) T^ = Ç j = 1» » "

where

T^ = amount of nutrient i

The expected amount of nutrient i in the ration is: 67 (22) E(T^) . t E(a..)X.

I.e.

(23) E(ip = 2 P..X.

Let us assume a symmetrical probability distribution of the

or . If we use the p^^'s (mean value of nutrient i in

feedstuff j) in a LP environment, then 50% of the time the ration will be under the desired specified level b ^ for

nutrient i. Similarly, if rations are formulated for aver­

age requirement values (b^), the strict requirements of 50%

of the animals will not be met even if feedstuffs composi­

tion are perfectly known. As a result, if one uses the mean composition of the ingredients and the mean require­ ments, then one should expect to meet the requirements only

50% of the time, assuming a symmetrical probability density function of the a and b .. Therefore, there is a need to 13 1 assess the form of the distribution of nutrients within

each feedstuff.

Consequences of uncertainty differ across the segments of the feed industry:

1. For the farmer, the variance in might be large

enough so that inadequate rations will be formulated

(i.e., by chance, some rations will be low enough in

a given nutrient to affect the animal performances).

Black et al. (1978) have demonstrated that it pays

to have a safety factor in a beef ration. However, 68

the economically optimal safety factors have yet to

be assessed with good confidence.

2. For the feed manufacturer, the law states that the

guaranteed analysis for some nutrients must be ex­

pressed as a minimum concentration (e.g. crude pro­

tein). Hence, the feed must meet the desired con­

centration more than 50% of the time in order to

avoid costly lawsuits.

3.2.2 Mathematical programming under uncertainty

3.2.2.1 Stochastic programming

The general field of stochastic programming started in the mid-fifties from the expose of Dantzig (1955). Since then, there has been some very active research reported in the literature, which has been summarized by Vajda (1970) and

Sengupta (1973).

A stochastic problem can be classified into one of the three following categories, depending on the problem's characteristics and one's interests: 'wait-and-see',

'here-and-now', and chance-constrained (Pfaffenberger and

Walker, 1976). We start with a study of problems of the

'wait-and-see' type. Consider the program of:

Minimize z = c'l (24) Subject to: Ax ^ b 69

where c and x are n-vectors, b is an ra-vector, A is an mxn

matrix and x is to be determined. A natural question to be

asked is one about the probability distribution of the min­

imum of c'x. This product of two vectors, or its minimum,

will be a random variable when the c-coefficients are ran­

dom variables themselves. If we know that the set of opti­

mal basic variables remain the same whatever the variations

of the coefficients, then the question could be answered by

methods which analyze the solution of a set of algebraic

linear equations when the coefficients vary. But as these

coefficients vary, the set of optimal basic variables might

vary as well. Then the probability of the minimum of c'x

not exceeding a value C is a sum of terms, each term being

the product of a probability that the set of optimal basic

variables is a given set, multiplied by the conditional

probability that in this case the minimal value of c'x does

not exceed C. A problem is of the 'wait-and-see' type when

one's interest is in finding the probability distribution

of the optimum when the c's are random.

Now let us modify the program to the following:

Minimize z = c'x (25) Subject to: Ax = b

and assume that b is not precisely known, but only its dis­

tribution function. Then it is plainly impossible to de­ mand that X should be determined in a way that Ax equals 70

whatever value of b. The difference between Ax and b will

in effect be a random variable whose distribution function

depends on x. We can then argue that we understand that we have to pay a penalty for any discrepancy, and we might de­

cide to minimize the sum of c x plus the expected value of

such possible penalties.

We can make various assumptions about the penalties to be paid. A general formulation reported by Vajda (1970) is as f ollow : Minimize c'x + E min d'y v (26) f Subject to: Ax + By = b

This is interpreted as saying that an x must be found

'here-and-now', before the actual values of the components of b are known; when they become known, then y must be found from the second stage program:

Minimi z e d'y (27) Subject to: By = b - Ax where all coefficients and x are known. Then the vector x must be determined in such a way that

^28) c'x+E min d 'y is minimized.

With the third type of problem, chance-constrained pro­ gramming, we do not demand that the constraints should al­ ways be satisfied, but rather that they be satisfied in a 71

proportion of cases or, in other words, with certain given . Thus we might want to:

Minimize c'x (29) Subject to: Pr (a^x i b^) i where the a, are given probabilities and the symbol Pr( ) stands for 'the probability of ( ) to hold'. The proce­ dures which we will discuss in the next sections consist in finding for such a probability constraint, an equivalent deterministic constraint, i.e., one which no longer con­ tains any probabilistic element.

Recent advances in stochastic programming (SP) can be found in Cunninghame-Green (1977), Bawa (1982) and Stancu-

Minasian (1982). Interesting applications of SP in opera­ tions research can be found in Itami (1974), Heyman et al.

(1982) and Sengupta (1981, 1982). Research is now being conducted on extensions of SP in dynamic programming

(Schal, 1979). Much controversy remains about the benefits of specific SP in decision analysis (Blau, 1974; Charnes and Cooper, 1975; Heilman, 1980).

3.2.2.2 Simple-chance-constrained programming

Chance-constrained programming (CCP) has been introduced in the previous section. The problem is repeated here for convenience. 72

Minimize z = c'x

(30) Subject to: Pr(a|x ^ b^) ^

X ^ 0

The magnitude of i allows for one more step in our classi­

fication. In (30), if i = 1 then the problem is a simple-

chance-constrained program (SCCP); otherwise, it is a

joint-chance-constrained program (JCCP).

3.2.2.1 Origin

Elmaghraby (1959) is one of the first authors that reported work on SCCP, but somehow his approach has not proven use­ ful and has been abandoned by the scientific community.

The whole field was really initiated and structured under

the work of Charnes and Cooper (1959, 1962, 1963) who set

the basic theory of CCP, which has not really changed since. This theory was also outlined by Sinha (1963) in

California. During chat time, Madansky (1962) got inter­ ested in the numerical solution to the problem but without great success. The state of the art was summarized in the early seventies by Kirby (1970), Prekopa(1970) and Sengupta

(1970). But the best exposition to the topic can be found in Sposito (1975) whose work will be heavily used and par­ aphrased in the next section.

3.2.2.2 Models

The general SCPP model is: 73

Minimize Z = j i = 1...... n

Subject to: Pr{% a^jXj ^ b^} ^ i = 1, e{0,l} (31) j SijXj - i = 2, ...,m

Xj ^ 0

where e stands for 'element of'. Depending on which of the

parameters are random, different models can be outlined.

3.2.2.2.1 Constraint requirements random

This is to say that the b^ cannot be determined exactly but

comes from some distribution. The objective is to meet the

constraint for most parameter values. The constraint can be formulated as:

(32) Pr {? a^jXj - b^} - ot^ i e m, “i ^ {0,1} where relates to the rate of success and 1-a^ denotes

the allowable risk of failure. Standardizing, we get:

^ a X - E(b ) b - E(b ) (33) Pr {Z a^jXj ^ b^} = Pr J L1_J------L_ k - 1 ------

where E(b.) and o. are the mean and standard deviation of i b^ respectively.

If we assume that b^ = N(p^ , ) , then i i b. - E(b ) (34) — = N(0,1) ^i

Therefore, 74

X - E(b.) (35) Pr = a “i

We can note that this probability will increase if Z is “i increased. Hence,

? a X. - E(b.) b. - E(b.) (36) Pr -1 3______L- à — = a

j 'ijXj ^ "i Xj ^ 0 is the deterministic equivalent of (31) under a random nor­ mally distributed b^^. The normality assumption is not es­ sential in this derivation. We only need to find a such that f,(Z ) =a., where f, denotes the cumulative dis- b 1 D tribution function of b. Charnes and Cooper (1964) have adapted the procedure to a nonparametric environment, i.e., using information from the median and the ranks, which 75

could be considered if the does not follow a tabulated

distribution.

3.2.2.2.2 Input-output coefficients random

Let us consider model (10) when the input-output coeffi­ cients a are random. Again, let us assume that each a i j i j is normally and independently distributed with mean p and variance o ^ . The independence of the a. . does not Hi- XJ cause any problem in the feed formulation problem since the protein in corn silage is independent from the protein in % alfalfa, for example. Let amount of nut­ rient i. Then

E(Rj^) . : E(a^j)Xj

which reduces to

So if we consider

if and only if

(46) "i - i (x'Vx)

Therefore, the following model

Minimize j Subject to: ? V ..X. - Z (x'Vx)^ ^ b . (4 7)

is a deterministic equivalent to (31) when the a^^ are in­ dependent random normal variâtes. In the present problem, the normal distribution assumption of the a^^ is of impor- 77 tance since our derivation rest upon the statistical theo­ rem stating that any linear combination of random variables that are independent and normally distributed has also a normal distribution (De Groot, 1975). Note also that (47) is a nonlinear model.

3.2.2.2.3 Input-output coefficients and constraint

This is a straight-forward extension of the two previous sections. Let b. = N(p_ ,o^ ) and 1 b . b . 1 X a. . = N(p , a t ) and b^ and a^^ independent. ij Then

Hence

i.e., the stochastic constraint is replaced by its

deterministic equivalent:

3.2.2.3 Recent developments

Millier (1967) has extended the theory to the case of 0-1

decision variables, the 'either/or' activities. Much has

been published on the decision rules for specific models

(Eisner et al., 1971) as well as for the general chance-

constrained programming model (Sengupta, 1969, 1970; Smith,

1973; Mukherje, 1980). Thus far, results are inconclusive

and the extension of CCP to decision problems under risk is

still debated (Hogan et al., 1981; Charnes and Cooper,

1983). Babievsk et al. (1980) derived the optimality con­

ditions for problems with probabilistic constraints, but

the consequences of their findings are still unknown.

Computer structures have been successfully optimized by

CCP (Rao, 1980). More recently, Sniedovich (1983) has ex­ amined a special class of CCP which, like the work of Heil-

mann (1983), does not seem to be closely related to our proposed research.

3.2.2.3 Joint-chance-constrained programming

3 . 2 . 3 .1 Origin 79

Miller and Wagner (1965) are the first authors that report­

ed some work on joint-chance-constrained programming

(JCCP), i.e., a problem when one constraint has the form:

Pr n (54) i j ij j J (n is the standard symbol for the intersection of sets)

with random input-output coefficients, constraint require­

ments, or both, random. However, their work was limited to

the case of independent random right-hand-side (RHS) ele­

ments. Balintfy (1970) extended the theory to the case of

dependent random RHS and showed an exact solution when k=2

and b^ bivariate normal. Bawa (1973) proposed two lower

bound approximations to the former constraint, based on

Bonferroni's inequality and Slepian's inequality. A major

contribution to the field was made by Jagannathan (1974)

when he fully relaxed the assumption of independence of the

random RHS elements, treated the case of a random input-

output coefficient matrix and determined the conditions for

convergence (convex programming) of the JCCP. His results

will be heavily used in the next section.

3 .2 . 3 . 2 Models

The general JCCP model is: (55) Minimize ^ c^X^

(56) Subject to: Pr ' rf 'i]

(57)

(53) ^ 0 j 80

In the case of a random RHS vector, (56) is expressed as:

k Pr n (59) i - a

where a ., c. and a are given constants, Ç ,...,Ç are con- ij J I k tinuous random variables with a known joint distribution F.

If are independent, then F = ttF ^ , where it denotes

product and F^ is the marginal distribution function of

Then constraint (59) has a deterministic equivalent of the

form: (60) F^( j a_jXj) \ a i = 1,..., k which can be recast in an additive form (Miller and Wagner,

1965) as:

? In F (y ) ^ In a (61) j 'ijXj - °

If we add the assumption that Ç. are normally distributed,

i.e., with a density function of the form:

(62) f ^(Ç.i I .cTp i exp - 1 Si - ( n)^o, 2 °i

then

- 1 (63) Fi(Ci) = ^ exp dç. (2n)^o. 81 which does not have any known analytical solution. There

exist good numerical approximations to integral (63) and

their use would not preclude the use of derivative-based

NLP algorithms, since = f^(S^) which is given by (62) and can be computed easily.

The case when the are not mutually independent is not as straightforward. Let us examine the special case when k = 2 and C ^, ?2 have a bivariate normal distribution func­ tion. Let

(64) g,(X) = ( j *ijXj ^i) 1 = 1,2

where = E(Ç^) ,2 = E((?i - y^) )

(Ci -Pi) /

Then (59) has the form

Pr (X) ^ e, , g^ (X) (65) 1 where variables E ^have standard bivariate normal dis­ tribution denoted by EXZ^.Zgir), and

"l %2 E ^ - 2re^E2 + e ^ FXZ^.Zgrr) = exp dci dE2 2 s h 2TT(l-rO 2 ( l - r 2 ) 0 0 (66) E(e^) = E^Eg) 0 E(ep = E(e2) = 1

£(£^£2) = r

It follows that 82

(67) ^ Z^, ^2 ^ ^2 ) FCZj^jZ^jT) and (65) can be rewritten as:

(68) F ( g^(x), g2(x);r ) ^ a

So, if we let g^j= au^/o^ and G(Z) = F(Z^r), the determin­ istic equivalent to (65) is

(69) ? SijXj - Zi = 0

G(Z) ^ c

However, in the process of casting this idea into nonlinear programming models, insurmountable computational difficul­ ties arise from the process of evaluating the function of multivariate normal probability integrals (Balintfy, 1970).

In fact, at present sufficiently fast numerical analytical procedures and tables are available only for the bivariate normal distribution (Gupta, 1963; National Bureau of Stan­ dards, 1959) and no experience exists in handling similar computation for k>2.

The extension to the case of random input-output coeffi­ cients should now be obvious. Variances and covariances are given constants when the RHS elements are random.

These statistics are nonlinear functions of the structural variables x when input-output coefficients are random, and T can be included easily in the model. If we let T .= a X. 1 j i j 1 then V(T^) reduces to

(70) V(T.) = E o2 1 a.j J 83 in the feed formulation problem due to the independence of the »^ij' jfj '» and

(71) Cov(T.,T.,) = J ^,XjX.,Cov(a.j,a^,j,) which reduces to

(72) Cov(T^,T.,) = j Cov(a^j,a^,j) xj in the feed formulation problem since Cov(a^^,a^,^ ,) = 0 for j=j' (i.e., no correlation between protein in corn si­ lage and fiber in alfalfa).

3.2.3 Least-cost and max-profit rations under uncertainty

Van de Panne and Popp (1963) are the first authors that have applied the theory of CCP to the feed formulation problem. Essentially, they have applied model (26) to a cattle feed problem with a probabilistic protein con­ straint. Since the resulting model is nonlinear in the constraints, they used Zoutendijk's method of feasible di­ rections to determine the optimum (Zoutendijk, 1959). But much of their discussion is on Zoutendijk's method and on the care that must be taken in each step of computation so that the feasible directions and optimal lengths of move­ ments are properly derived. Later, Van de Panne and Whin- ston (1966) simplified the method, but the non-availability of a computer code has precluded its use. During that period, Balintfy and Prekopa (1966) began their work on hu­ 84

man diets which resulted in marked progress in the field of

joint-chance-constraint programming (Balintfy, 1970).

As a consequence of the non-availability of an efficient

computer code for solving nonlinear programming, some re­

searchers have proposed methods to linearize the nonlinear

constraints. Nott and Combs (1967) and Combs and Nott

(1967) suggested that a proportion of the nutrient's stan­

dard deviation be subtracted from the nutrient's mean,

i.e., a! . = a..- Xo. .. The LP model becomes: ij iJ iJ

Minimize ? c .X . J J J Subject to: ? (a.. - Xo..)X, ^ b. J 1] 1] j i where X is the adjustment factor needed to obtain the de­

sired probability of success. Black and Hlubik (1980) re­

ported values of X required to obtain alternative probabil­

ities of meeting the requirement for the case where the a^^

follow the normal distribution (i.e., Pr = 0.95 for

^ = 1.65). According to these authors, "this approximation

procedure is accurate when the desired rates are in the

0.50 to 0.80 range (0.83 < X < 0)". This statement is er­

roneous as it can be demonstrated that the odds of success are much larger than stated. This is because the proce­ dure ignores that the variance of nutrient i in the final

solution is a function of the number of ingredients in the solution and their proportions. Due to its conservatism,

the method is safe but not accurate. However, it is easy 85

to implement since all equations are linear. Computer

software can be designed to store standard deviations in

addition to means in the nutrient data file. The model

would adjust automatically the mean according to the appro­

priate adjustment factor and would place the adjusted mean

in the LP matrix.

Rahman and Bender (1971) proposed two linear approxima­

tions of the variance equation. The first is based on a

Taylor series expansion of a . To see how this works, let E i T .= . a . .X .. Then 1 J iJ J Ç o2 X? (74) 1 a.. ] 1 The RHS of this equation can be expanded through a Taylor

series expansion at the point X^ = X°, j = l, 2,..., n. In

the neighborhood of this point, the terms of second and

higher order in the expansion can be ignored, to yield the

following:

(75) = j «ijXj where

J?,X?

Then the LP could be Iterated with 6.. and a re-estimated 13 i after each iteration. Unfortunately, Rahman and Bender

(1971) did not consider this alternative in their applica­ tion. Instead, they used the second approximation method which can be described as the following. Let 86 *

By squaring both sides, we obtain:

(78) - .2^ + Ç ; differing from equation (74) by the second term only, which being the sum of positive cross-products is positive.

Therefore, *2 ^ 2 (79) •k As a result, if a is approximated by a , the result i i would be biased, but in a known direction. The implication of this bias is that the actual probability of meeting the requirements would be more than the specified value. The deterministic equivalent to the probabilistic constraint has the form:

(80) ; a..X. - X Z o^.X. i b^ which is equivalent to (73), the Nott and Combs' method of downgrading the mean nutrient contained in each ingredient to allow for a safety margin. However, (80) allows A to be parametrized easily, i.e., by repetitive runs and post-op­ timization computation of o^ , A could be determined so i that the actual probability of meeting the requirements is close to the specified value. This procedure has not been used by the authors.

Rightfully, Chen (1973) argued that under the Rahman and

Bender's approach, the desired level of probability of sue- 87

cess is likely to deviate greatly from the true optimal

nonlinear programming result. The fact Is that although

parametric linear programming for X over an appropriate

range generates a ration that does satisfy the desired lev­

el of probability of success, the mixture Is possibly no- noptlmal In terms of the original stochastic programming problem. Cost Is likely to be greater than the minimum at­ tainable for this ration because the solution thus obtained Z 2 minimizes ( j XjOj) rather than the true measurement of 2 2 total variance j (XjOj) , for any given ration cost and mean protein content restrictions.

Chen (1973) used a different and original approach to the problem. The author showed that when other things are equal, it cannot cost less to produce a mixture with a higher attainable probability of success. Therefore, a re­ vised stochastic programming problem can be specified to maximize the probability of success, such that the cost and other linear Inequality restrictions are satisfied. Then the model Is:

Maximize Pr ( ? a^^X^ à b )

Subject to: c^X^ é. k (81) Ax ^ b

X h 0

The deterministic equivalent Is: 88

Maximize ? a. ,X. - 8x ' Wx ( 8 - 0 to <”) ] 1 ] ] Subject to: c.X. 4 k J J (82) Ax \ b

X ^ 0 with k parametrized uniformly over a large range within which the desired level of success may exist. The problem is solved and the results at every basis change are record­ ed. The highest attainable q value (i.e., highest

7 0 0 ' 0 ( a X - b ) / (x Wx ) ) is computed, from which the im- j ij j i plied probability of success is determined. Then k is mod­ ified and the procedure is repeated until convergence. The whole procedure is rather cumbersome to say the least and an efficient computer code for solving quadratic program­ ming is needed. Such a code does exist (Cutler and Pass,

1971), but the model can only be applied to simple-chance- constrained programming.

Other than the limited work reported by Balintfy (1970), nothing has been done on the application of joint-chance- constrained programming to the feed formulation problem.

With respect to maximum-profit rations, much remains to be done. The California dairy model (Bath, 1975) yields results that are highly dependent on the user's arbitrary choice of response function. Kagan et al. (1982) designed an approach to maximize returns over feed costs with re­ spect to supplemental fat in turkey diets. However, we are 89 unable to obtain the same regression equations using the reported data, which makes their results questionable.

Also, the accuracy and simplicity of the model could be greatly improved by considering direct daily intake instead of feed efficiency ratios. None of these maximum-profit models considered the effect of uncertainty on the optimal solution. 90

3.3 MATERIAL AND METHODS

3.3.1 Es tlmatlon of Var-Cov matrices of feedstuff s

Two sources of data have been used in order to estimate the varlance-covarlance matrices of nutrients within each feedstuff. The first source was from the Research-Exten- tlon Analytical Laboratory In Wooster, Ohio. Feed analysis from all samples submitted to the lab In 1981, 1982 and

1983 were used, and a few records were deleted for obvious coding errors (I.e., dry matter higher than100%.) The analysis was performed on nearly 14,000 records from the following feedstuffs (number of Individual records In pa­ rentheses ) .

1. Legume hay - 1st cutting (357)

2. Legume hay - 2nd cutting (618)

3. Legume hay - 3rd cutting (257)

4. Legume-grass hay - 1st cutting (1274)

5. Legume-grass hay - 2nd cutting (1536)

6. Legume-grass hay - 3rd cutting (315)

7. Grass hay - 1stcutting (477)

8. Grass hay - 2nd cutting (118)

9. Grass hay - 3rd cutting (29)

10. Legume silage - 1st cutting (459)

11. Legume silage - 2nd cutting (237)

12. Legume silage - 3rd cutting (124)

13. Legume-grass silage - 1st cutting (1517) 91

14. Legume-grass silage - 2nd cutting (510)

15. Legume-grass silage - 3rd cutting (144)

16. Grass silage - 1st cutting (184)

17. Grass silage - 2nd cutting (23)

18. Grass silage - 3rd cutting (8)

19. Corn Silage - no NPN added (3024)

20. Corn silage - NPN added (1524)

21. Sorghum silage (55)

22. Small grain silage (283)

23. Dry shelled corn (118)

24. High moisture shelled corn (275)

25. Dry ground ear corn (62)

26. High moisture ground ear corn (373)

Records Included information on the following nutrients

(abbreviations and units in parentheses)

1. Dry matter (DM, %)

2. Crude protein (CP, %)

3. Acid detergent fiber (ADF, %)

4. Estimated net energy for lactation (NE(1), Mcal/kg)

5. Phosphorus (P, %)

6. Potassium (K, %)

7 . Calcium (Ca, %)

8. Magnesium (Mg, %)

9. Manganese (Mn. ppm)

10. Iron (Fe, ppm) 92

11. Copper (Cu, ppm)

12. Zinc (Zn, ppm)

Net energy for lactation has been estimated from the ADF

content using the equations developed at Penn State (Bath

et al., 1978). A recent summative equation derived by Con­

rad et al.(1984) seems to have much better predictive prop­

erties, but the lack of information on lignin, neutral de­

tergent fiber, ash and ether extracts of these feedstuffs precludes its utilization in this research.

The second source of data was from a major feed manufac­

turer in Eastern Canada. More than 1,400 recordsfrom 1982 and 1983 were available in the following feedstuffs (abbre­ viations and number of records in parentheses).

1. Barley grain (BRY, 47)

2. Brewer dried grains (BDG, 86)

3. Corn grain (CRN, 184)

4. Corn gluten feed (CGF, 66)

5. Corn gluten meal (CGM, 81)

6. Distillers dried grains (DDG, 98)

7. Feather meal (FTH, 67)

8. Meat and bone meal (MBM, 88)

9. Oat grain (OAT, 38)

10. Rapeseed meal (RPS, 255)

11. Soybean meal (SBM, 100)

12. Sunflower meal (SFM, 101) 93

13. Wheat grain (WHT, 88)

14. Wheat shorts (WSH, 162)

Records included information on (abbreviations and units in

parentheses):

1. Crude protein (CP, %)

2. Acid detergent fiber (ADF, %)

3. Ether extract (FAT, %)

4. Phosphorus (P, %)

5. Potassium (K, %)

6. Calcium (Ca, %)

7. Sodium chloride (Salt, %)

8. Ash (Ash, %)

Except for feather meal and meat and bone meal, net energy for lactation was again estimated from the ADF content by the Penn State equations (Bath et al., 1978). NE(1) in feather meal and meat and bone meal was predicted using the following respective equations:

(83) NE(1) = 0.0245 (.93CP + FAT + .92 (100-ASH-CP-l) + 0.75) - 0.12

(84) NE(1) = 0.0245 (.7CP + 0.1 + 0.70 (lOO-ASH-CP-0.5)) - 0.12

Both equations were derived from the general scheme pro­ posed by Conrad et al, (1984). 94

Univariate statistics were computed using the MEANS pro­ cedure of SAS. The CORR procedure was used to estimate the variance-covariance matrices of nutrients within each feedstuff.

3.3.2 Distribution of nutrients wi thin f eeds tuffs

Many of the procedures described in section 3.2 were assum­ ing a normal or multivariate normal distribution of nut­ rients within feedstuffs. Therefore it is of interest to test whether this assumption holds under the empirical data.

Necessary conditions for a multivariate normal distribu­ tion are that each variate must follow a univariate normal distribution, but these conditions are not sufficient.

However, results from this testing phase were conclusive enough so that no further testing was deemed necessary.

Tests of normality for each nutrient within each feeds­ tuff were performed by the UNIVARIATE procedure of SAS.

For sample size smaller than 51, the Shapiro-Wilks statis- ti was computed and tested (Shapiro and Wilks, 1965). For sample size greater than 50, the data were tested against a normal distribution with parameters equal to the sample mean and variance. The usual KoImogorov-Smirnov D statis­ tic was computed and tested against critical values (Ste­ phens, 1974). 95

3.3.3 Solutions to the SCCP problem

The deterministic equivalent to the stochastic model invol­ ving randomness in one single row (47) implies a search for the solution of a nonlinear programming problem. Algor­ ithms used to solve such problems are more complex and not as available as the revised simplex for linear programming problems. Currently the feed industry possesses powerful custom-made computer programs using the simplex algorithm to formulate rations as linear programming models. There­ fore, an algorithm based on a linear approximation to the nonlinear constraint would present a clear advantage as it could be used by the industry with minimal changes from their current procedures. Three such algorithms have been derived and compared to the exact solution given by a non­ linear programming algorithm.

Data on expected feed composition and their variances were taken from the results obtained by the procedures out­ lined in the previous section. Feed prices from 1970 to

1979 were taken monthly from Feedstuffs magazine and aver­ aged per year, resulting in 10 sets of prices. This period has been characterized by a great variation in relative prices of feedstuffs (St-Pierre et al., 1984). These annu­ al prices are reported in table 11 .

Algorithms were tested on a dairy premix. Such a feed is designed to be added to grains and protein sources in 96

order to form a complete grain mix. Typically, it is manu­

factured by a central mill which sells and distributes it

to local feed mills. Under those circumstances, SCCP is a reasonable model. The desired nutrient composition of the feed is :

Crude protein: 25% minimum

Fat : 1 % mi nimum

Crude fiber: 13% maximum

Calcium: 6.6%

Phosphorus: 3.1%

Salt: 12.7%

A micro premix was incorporated at the rate of 4%. The stochastic constraint was applied on crude protein. The other nutrients were considered in a deterministic fashion not because they do not present randomness, but because the magnitude of this randomness is low enough that it does not put the composition of the final product (grain mix) out of legal bounds. The probability level on the protein content was arbitrarily set at 95%. It is thought that such a con­ fidence level should satisfy regulating agencies. The al­ gorithms considered were the following:

(1) The approximate Rahman and Bender algorithm with X fixed (RBF).

This algorithm approximates the standard deviation of pro­ tein in the feed mix by using equation ( 7 7). Since the ap- 98

proxlraated a is larger than the true o, the actual prob­

ability of meeting the desired level of protein has to be

more than the specified value. The specific model for the

dairy premix is given in table 12 . The 95% probability

level implied that A be set at -1.63. This linear program­

ming problem was solved using the subroutine ZX4LP from the

IMSL library.

(2) Iterated Rahman - Bender (IRB).

In the RBF algorithm, A is set to a given value depending on the desired probability level. However, due to the con­ servatism of the method, the achieved probability is guar­ anteed to be larger than the desired probability. There­ fore, a second algorithm could be designed where o is linearized by a as in equation (77), but A parametrized so that the achieved probability equals the desired one.

For a probability of 95% , we know that -1.65 < A < 0.

If we let f(A) = ABS(achieved Pr - 0.95), then the problem is to find which value of \ yields the minimum of f(A).

This involves a unidimensional search on A. For efficiency reasons, the golden search (search by golden section) was chosen (Hiramelblau, 1972). This search is based on the splitting of a line into two segments known in ancient times as the 'golden section', i.e., the ratio of the whole line to the larger segment is the same as the ratio of the larger segment to the smaller. The fractions employed are: TABLE 12

Let x° = -1.65 and = 0.0 and let = x ^ - x At the

stage, the next interval is computed as follows:

Determine: , ,

Then,

1: If f(Y^) < fCYg);

ak+l = (Y% _ xk), xf+l = xk. and x^+l = Y%

2: If f(Yk) > f(Y^) ;

ak+l = (%k _ Yk), xk+1 = Yk, and x^+l =

3: If f (Y^) = f(Yk) ;

ak+1 = (yk _ %k+l = ^k, and x^+l = Y%

This procedure is illustrated in figure 14 for the first 2 stages. One should realize that the evaluation of f(x^) i nvolves:

1. setting \ = x^,

2. solving the resulting linear model with the Rahman-

Bender linearizatrion of a.

3. computing the real o of protein from the solution, •

4. computing the achieved probability for protein (Pa), 101

5. computing f(x^) = ABS (Fa - 0.95).

Therefore, if k is the number of phases required for con­

vergence in the golden search, then 2xk linear programming

problems must be solved for, before the solution of the

original problem is found. Unless k is relatively small,

this algorithm may become extremely cumbersome. But in

practical applications, the algorithm might converge con­

sistently to about the same value of A. If this is the

case, then the range of search for A could be shortened

with a dramatic improvement in the performance of the al­

gorithm.

(3) Iterated Taylor series expansion (ITS).

A Taylor series is the polynomial expansion of a function

at a given point. If f(x,, x^, ..., x ) is a function of n 1 2 n variables, then the Taylor series expansion at the point

X. = x ° (j = 1...... n) is: J J

(87) F(Xj, x^, ..., x^) = f(x°, x°, ... x°)

2 + (x -x°) + 1 5 (x.-xO)Z ^ J j 9Xj X =x° 2 ^ J j 9x^ x. = xÇ j J j

Then, if the x^'s are sufficiently close to the x 9, the

difference, (Xj-x9), will converge to zero as it is raised

to second and higher powers and the series will converge

fast enough to justify an approximation with only the first 102

becomes :

C O yO . j j j X. a. X. = 7 % ^ - -

Then the LP could be iterated, with 6^ and consequently Op

re-estimated after each iteration. In the early applica­

tion, it became evident that in many instances, the proce­

dure was diverging or oscillating from the optimal solu­

tion. The problem is inherent in the method itself, since

if the Xj 's are not sufficiently close to the Xj's, the se­

ries may not converge fast enough or may even diverge.

Consequently, the algorithm was modified in order to limit

the step size from one iteration to the other , a procedure

similar to the method of approximation programming (MAP)

described by Himmelblau (1972) and Palacios-Gomez et al.

(1982). The model used for the dairy premix is reported in

table 13 . At each iteration step, the resulting linear programming model was solved using the subroutine ZX4LP of

the IMSL library.

4. General nonlinear programming algorithm (NLP).

A general nonlinear programming code, MINOS (Modular Incore

Nonlinear Optimization System) was used to solve the exact deterministic equivalent to the stochastic programming TABLE 13

3.3.4 Solutions to JCCP problems

These problems are characterized by multiple stochastic

rows, i.e., two or more nutrients are imperfectly known.

Most feed formulation problems should fall into this cat­

egory, since an array of nutrients must be considered in

order to formulate a least-cost balanced ration.

Data on expected feed composition and variance- covari­

ance matrices of nutrients within feedstuffs were those ob­

tained from the procedures described in section 3.3.1.

Feed prices were those reported in table 11.

The proposed algorithms were tested with three different

types of feed: a dairy supplement, a dairy grain mix and a

total mixed ration.

A supplement is a mixture of protein, vitamins and min­

erals designed to be added to grains in order to form a

complete grain mix. It normally represents 25 to 30% of

the final grain mix. This type of product is sold to small

local feed mills or directly to dairy farmers mixing their own grain mix on the farm. The desired composition of the supplement was:

NE(1): 1.64 Mcal/kg minimum

Crude protein: 27% minimum

Calcium : 2.2%

Phos phorus: 1.7%

Salt: 3.33% 108

Feather meal and meat and bone meal were constrained at a

level lower than 15% of the mix. A micro premix was incor­

porated at a rate of 1.5%.

A dairy grain mix is a mixture of protein, vitamins,

mineral sources and grains designed to be added to forages

in order to form a balanced ration. It normally represents

40 to 50% of the ration of a lactating dairy cow. The de­

sired composition of the grain mix was:

NE(1): 1.64 Mcal/kg minimum

Crude protein: 16% minimum

Calcium: 0.7%

Phosphorus: 0.65%

Salt: 1.0%

Additional constraints were added to insure adequate palat-

ability and physical properties of the mix: maximum 5% of

feather and bone meal; 20% of corn gluten feed and brewers

dried grains and 40% wheat grain. Molasses and a micro­

premix were forced at 5% and .5% respectively. It was

thought that the added number of constraints of this feed

as compared to the dairy supplement could significatly

change the performance of the proposed algorithms.

A total mixed dairy ration (TMR) is a mixture of prote­

in, vitamins and mineral sources, grains and forages de­

signed to be fed as the sole feed to lactating dairy cows.

The TMR was set for a theoretical cow weighing 650 kg and 109

producing 30 kg of milk at 3.5% fat. The maximum dry mat­

ter intake was set at 19 kg and the corresponding nutrient

requirements were computed from tabulated values (NRC,

1978). Dry fat, a mixture of tallow blended with the non­

nutritive carrier verxite (Jenkins and Palmquist, 1984) was

allowed in the ration as a high source of energy with very

little variability in its composition. A mineral and vita­

min mix containing 18% calcium and 10% phosphorus was also

incorporated into the models. Prices for ingredients were

those suggested by the State Extention Office (Pritchard,

personnal communication) and are reported per metric ton of

dry matter: legume-grass hay - 2nd cutting (HAY), $95.28;

legume-grass silage - 1st cutting (HLG), $85.81; corn si­

lage -no NPN added (CSL), $70.77; high moisture ground ear

corn (GEC), $128.62; soybean meal (SBM), $214.33; dry fat

(DPT), $400.00; mineral mix (MIN), $250.00.

Among the algorithms considered for solving JCCP prob­

lems, some use the Rahman-Bender estimate of a variance as described previously. A well known statistical inequality,

the Bonferroni inequality was also used in order to get simplified algorithms. This inequality goes as follows: for any set of random events,

(89) Pr ZgàOg...... ZpàOp) i

Pr (Z^èap + Pr (ZgàOg) + ... + Pr ( Z ^ è a ^ ) - (P-1) 110

where z.» 1 = 1 , are random variables, are given

constants and P is the number of events in the set. The

algorithm considered were:

1: Industry standards (IS)

The way that feed manufacturers cope with uncertainty in

composition of feedstuffs varies among them. We defined arbitrarily the following scheme to be the one used for

comparison with the alternate algorithms.

Discount feedstuffs' energy level by 1 .65 times

their individual standard deviation for energy.

Discount feedstuffs' protein level by 1.65 times

their individual standard deviation for protein.

- Set the other nutrients as if they were known with

certainty and set their respective RHS to the desired

values .

The resulting model is reported in table 15 for the supple­ ment feed. In short, the model tries to adjust for uncer­ tainty of CP and NE(1) by incorporating Rahman-Bender esti­ mates. The remaining nutrients are considered deterministic and the RHS is set to the tag value.

Each nutrient's standard deviation was estimated using the

Rahman-Bender approximation given by equation (77). Over­

all level of probability was insured by a Bonferroni ine­

quality, each row's probability of success being set to the

same value. The resulting model is reported in Table 16

for the supplement. Since this is a linear model, it could

be solved by regular linear programming procedures (IBM'S

MPS package) .

3: Bonferroni inequality with equal weight on row's

probability (BEW).

This model computes the true o, while overall probability of success is insured by a Bonferroni inequality where each row is assigned an equal probability level. Models are re­ ported for the supplement (table 17) and the TMR (Table

18). Due to its nonlinear constraints (computation of

a 's), the model had to be solved by nonlinear programming techniques (MINOS).

4 : Bonferroni inequality with unequal weight on rows'

probability (BUW).

In this model, each row's probability of success level is individually computed, the sum of all being forced to meet a Bonferroni inequality (Table 19 and 20). Normal distri­ bution of nutrients in the final mix is assumed. TABLE 16

5: Overall probability by multivariate integration

(MI) .

Nutrients are assumed to follow a multivariate normal dis­ tribution in the final mix. For reasons discussed earlier, only 2 nutrients can be approached in this fashion. Over­ all probability of success is achieved through the computa­ tion of a bivariate normal probability integral. A tetra- chloric series expansion was used as a numerical method for the evaluation of the bivariate probability integral (Gup­ ta, 1963). The model was applied to the TMR feed since this is a case where it seems reasonable to consider uncer­ tainty on only two nutrients (Table 21).

Level of complexity increases in ascending order from model 1 to 5. Therefore, accurate assesments of human and computer resources needed for the solution of the problem were recorded and used in comparison of models. Post-opti­ mization procedures were performed in order to assess the true overall probability of success of the final mix. For each solution obtained, a variance-covariance matrix was calculated from the amount of each feedstuff used and their respective variance-covariance matrices. The solution var­ iance-covariance matrix (Z) plus the vector of expected nutrient levels (p) were used to generate 10,000 vectors from a multivariate normal distribution (p, Z), using the algorithm described by Fishman (1978). In each instance. 119

The Monte Carlo estimate of the overall probability of success is given by the number of vectors passing the test (success) for all nutrients, divided by the total number of vectors generated. The re­ sulting statistic follows a binomial distribution and was tested using the large sample approximation given by Hol­ lander and Wolfe (1973, page 16). The desired overall suc­ cess rate was set arbitrarily at 95% for the supplement and the grain mix. In the TMR case, probability levels of 50,

60, 70, 80, and 90% were investigated. This allows for a crude of the relationship between certainty level and cost of ingredients in the ration. 121

3.4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.4.1 Composition of feedstuffs

Univariate statistics on feed composition are reported In table 22 . In all hays and silages, there Is an Increase

In quality from the first cutting to the third cutting, as shown by an increase In the means of CP and NE(1). Mean Ca level also Increases with cutting number, while levels of other nutrients remain fairly constant. Mean compositions are generally close to the NRC tabulated values (NRC,

19 78 ) .

Variations In composition within each forage are sub­ stantial. Across all forages, coefficients of variation

(C.V.) are relatively low for NE(1) (less than 20%), mod­ erate for CP, P, K, Ca, Mg and Zn (20 to 30%), and high for

Mn, Fe, Cu (greater than 30%). The effect of soil composi­ tion and fertility on crops' composition is well documented and explains the variation observed in levels of minerals. 122

Standard deviation.

'Coefficient of variation.

Probability for the null hypothesis to be true, i.e., that

the nutrient follows a normal distribution. 136

Variations in composition are much larger for forages

than for grains and by-products. C.V. of crude protein in the latter group ranges between 2 and 8%, which is much lower than the 17 to 4 0% range for forages. Similarly,

C.V. of NE(1) ranges between 1 and 6% for grains and by­ products, compared to a range of II to 24% for forages.

These differences are not as dramatic when the other nut­ rients are considered. Actually, mineral composition of by-products shows substantial levels of variation which was expected with this kind of feed.

The use of C.V. for expressing pure variation can be misleading since it expresses variation as a proportion of the mean. This is why feeds with a low level of a given nutrient show large C.V. values. However, the introduction of such a feed into a mix would not change much the varia­ tion in the mix, since it contributes very little to the final level of the given nutrient. For example, C.V. of crude protein in corn gluten feed is about 3 times as large as the same statistic for feather meal (6.3 vs 2.1%), even though its standard deviation is smaller (1.46 vs 1.91%).

Variations in salt composition are extremely large across all grains and by-products. A dramatic example is f"und in meat and bone meal, with a mean salt level of

1.88% and a standard deviation of 1.14 (C.V.=60.7%). To put things in perspective, the desired salt level in a com­ 137 mercial dairy grain mix is generally 1% . Substantial lev­ els of meat an bone meal or distillers dried grains in such a mix might raise the variation in salt to an unacceptable level even though expected composition would still be 1%.

Table 22 reports statistics on skewness and kurtosis.

In general, skewness is significantly p'ositive, indicating that frequencies of high nutrient levels are larger than expected from the normal distribution. This implies that the mean is larger than the median composition. Therefore, the probability of a certain feed being lower than the mean value of a given nutrient is larger than 50%. Level of kurtosis is also generally positive, indicating distribu­ tions of nutrients with heavy tails. The hypothesis that nutrients follow normal distributions is rejected in most cases . This is troublesome, since CCP procedures used in the next section assume normal distributions of nutrients .

However, the central limit theorem can be invoked to justi­ fy the assumption of normal distributions in the mix, which is the assumption of importance. Also, it appears that in most cases, deviation from normality is a consequence of a very few data which can be considered as outliers .

Estimated variance-covariance matrices of nutrients within feeds tuffs are reported in Appendix table 42. These will be used for post-optimization procedures in the next section. This information is presented in the form of cor­ relation coefficients in Appendix table 43. In general. 138

correlations between NE(1) and CP are fairly low. As we

shall see later, this will affect performance of the MI al­

gorithm .

3.4.2 SyCyCy2" problem

Least-cost solutions under deterministic nutrients con­

straints as found in conventional LP, are reported in table

23. In all cases, constraints on CP, P and salt were found

to be limiting. Fat was a limiting constraint 4 times, while Ca was limiting 5 times out of 10. An upper bound on

Ca should have been included in the model. This is because

in some years, Ca was not limiting and limestone was used

as a filler in the mix, resulting in high expected levels

of calcium. Crude fiber never was a limiting constraint.

Of potentially 17 ingredients, 9 were used at least once

during the 10 year period, with an average of 7 ingredients

per solution. The same solution vector was found in five years. A total of 0.68 second of CPU was used to find so­

lutions for an average of 0.068 second per solution. This model does not consider the stochastic aspect of feed com­

position. Therefore, the probability that the CP level in

the mix is lower than the desired level (i.e., the failure rate) is 50%.

Results for the approximate Rahman-Bender algorithm with

X fixed (REF) are given in table 24 . Of the potential 17 ingredients, 10 were used in at least one solution, with an 1 39

average of 7 ingredients per solution. Solutions for year

3, 4, 9 and 10, and for years 2, 5, and 8 were identical.

The expected CP level averaged 26.05%, i.e., 1.05% points higher than the 25% desired level. As pointed out earlier,

the Rahman-Bender estimate of o is biased upward. This estimate averaged 0.632 (range of 0.551 to 0.728) while the

true estimate computed from the solutions averaged 0.531

( 0 . 524-0 . 537 ). Therefore, the ratio o ^ /a averaged 1.14

(1.03-1.37). This figure indicates that on the average, the Rahman-Bender estimate is 14% larger than what it should be. As a result, the achieved rate of success aver­ aged 97.2% (95.5-98.8) instead of the desired 95%. Or ex­ pressed differently, the failure rate for crude protein was at 2.8% instead of the desired 5%, i.e., that the failure rate is l.B times lower than desired. The economic penalty that must be paid for this increased certainty will be dis­ cussed later. Amounts of computer resources remained very low, essentially at the same levels as the deterministic model (0.061 second of CPU per solution).

Least-cost solutions from the iterated Rahman-Bender al­ gorithm (IRB) are given in table 25 . Again, 10 out of 17 possible ingredients were used at least once. The average expected CP level, 25.85% (25.81-25.89), was a reduction from the previous algorithm (RBF). Under IRB, a is still overestimated by an average of 19% (2-37). However, the 14 1

adjustment on \ produces solutions with probability of suc­

cess equal to the desired probability. Clearly, the ad­

justment on X was time dependent and ranged from -1.198 to

-1.614. In the previous algorithm, X was fixed at -1.65.

The improvement in probability level was accompanied by

an increase in computer resources needed, for an average of

0.275 seconds of CPU per solution. The number of itera­

tions needed in the process averaged 5.8 (2 to 7), which

implies that an average of 11.6 (4 to 14) LP problems had

to bp solved in the iteration process. Due to their rela­

tively small sizes, these LP problems were solved rather quickly. In future applications, the range of search for X could possibly be reduced (-0.70 to -1.65) resulting in im­ proved performance from this algorithm.

Results from the iterated Taylor series expansion algor­ ithm (ITS) are shown in table 26 . Again, 10 ingredients out of the possible 17 were used at least once. Level of

CP in the final solution was quite stable, averaging 25.87%

(25.84-25.92). The standard deviation of CP in the solu­ tion averaged 0.529% (0.512-0.559). Of course the success rate for CP was 95% in all cases since this is an explicit constraint in the model. The number of iterations to reach convergence averaged 12.6 (2-31) which is only slightly larger than what was observed with the IRB algorithm.

each iteration was much larger. Therefore, the average,

number of seconds of CPU needed to reach the final solu­

tion, 2.02, was over 7 times larger than for the IRB algor­

ithm.

Finally, tahle 27 reports results obtained from MINOS.

As with the last two algorithms (IRB, ITS), the expected CP

level in the final mix was quite stable at an average of

25.87% (25.85-23.92). The exact 95% probability of success was implied by the model. On the average, 3.4 major itera­

tions and 18.3 total iterations were needed for conver­

gence. Both types of iterations are described by Murtagh and Saunders (1980). The coded algorithm appears to be very efficient coraputerwise, as only 0.22 second of CPU were needed on the average to find the solution. This fig­ ure does not include the time required to compile the user defined CALCFG and CALCON subroutines.

In all cases, ITS and MINOS converged to the same solu­

tion point. This is not surprizing because ITS is actually a non-linear algorithm specifically designed for the prob­ lem. Therefore, both algorithms should theoretically con­ verge to the same solution.

Cost of ingredients for all algorithms are reported in table 28 . In every year, cost per ton of premix decreased in the order FRB, IRB, ITS, NLP. The NLP algorithm can be used as a standard since it finds the exact minimum-cost 145

$97.19 under the deterministic model. The difference

($2.31) is the cost associated with the change from 50 to

95% in the rate of success for crude protein.

Clearly, NLP (MINOS) is the best algorithm for solving this type of problem. Computerwise, the code is very effi­ cient and convergence was easily reached in every case.

However, people from the feed industry are used to custom- made LP algorithms. It seems unlikely that such people would find MINOS 'friendly' enough to be used on a commer­ cial basis. A file editor program which would translate simple keyword commands into a MINOS model could circumvent the problem. Meanwhile, the iterated Rahman-Bender algor­ ithm could be implemented easily with almost the same per­ formance as the NLP. TABLE 2 8

3.4.3 problem

Results for the Industry standards model are reported in table 29 for the supplement and table 30 for the grain mix.

Upper bounds on ingredients resulted in a greater average number of ingredients per solution for the grain mix than for the supplement. This not only was expected, but was the basic for comparing algorithms with two differ­ ent feeds. Calcium, phosphorus and salt were binding con­ straints in every case. Due to the discounted ingredients' levels of CP and NE(1), expected levels of these two nut­ rients were much higher than the desired levels. In all cases, optimal solutions were readily found, using less than 0.35 second of CPU and 20 iterations, on the average.

These solutions will be used for comparison with those of our J.C.C.P. models. As mentioned earlier, these industry standard models were chosen among many alternatives cur­ rently used by the feed industry. Other alternatives would likely produce slightly different results, but conclusions would not differ.

The RBB model use Rahman-Bender estimates of , i=l,...,5, and insured a 93% global rate of success by a

Bonferroni inequality, i.e., each of the 5 nutrients' rate of success was set at 99%. Results differed very slightly from the industry standard models. For the supplement (ta­ ble 31), the average expected levels of nutrients were a 1- 150

most identical to those obtained under the IS model. Prob­

lems were solved with about the same amount of CPU time, in

a slightly smaller number of iterations. Cost of ingredi­

ents averaged $0.45 less when compared to IS. Differences

in the solutions given by the two models were more notice­

able in the case of the grain mix (table 32). Expected

levels of CP, NE and salt averaged larger values, while Ca

and P averaged lower expectations. This resulted in solu­

tions that were on the average $1.84 more expensive than

those from IS. Achieved rates of success, both individuals and global, will be discussed later.

Much better performance was observed from the model where each was directly computed and overall success rate insured by a Bonferroni inequality, with equal weight on the success rate of each nutrient (BEW). In both the supplement (table 33) and the grain mix (table 34) the av­ erage number of ingredients used showed a marked increase.

This should contribute to lower standard errors. As a re­ sult, expected levels of nutrients were markedly lower then those from the IS and RBB. In the supplement, NE(1) and CP were reduced from over 1.75 Mcal/kg to 1.715 Mcal/kg and from over 29.5% to 28.5%, respectively. Decreases of lower magnitudes were also observed for calcium, phosphorus and salt. Even though the model was nonlinear and solved by nonlinear techniques (MINOS), computer resources remained 153

fairly low at an average of 0.458 seconds of CPU per solu­

tion. The model was easily implemented on the system and

convergence was readily achieved even with initial solution

points far from the optimum. The number of major and total

iterations needed remained quite constant over the 10

years. Cost of ingredients averaged $127.05. This figure

represents a $8.22 (6.1%) reduction from the IS, and a

$7.77 (5.8%) reduction from the RBB. The same type of re­

sults were also observed with the grain mix. Average ex­

pected levels of nutrients showed reductions from those of

IS and RBB, especially in the case of CP which dropped from over 18.1% to 17.3%. Again, solutions were readily ob­ tained with very little resources used: less than 0.5 sec­ onds of CPU time per solution. Savings from the two previ­ ous algorithms were substantial. The average cost of ingredients, $95.40, is $5.01 (5.0%) and $6.85 (6.7%) lower than with IS and RBB, respectively.

In the previous model, rate of success for each of the 5 nutrients were preset at 99%. Additional savings can be achieved by allowing these rates to vary between nutrients, as long as their sum meets the Bonferroni inequality. In this fashion, rates of success for 'expensive' nutrients are lowered while those for 'cheap' nutrients increased, resulting in the same global probability of success but at a lower cost. This was the essence of the BUW model whose 156

results are reported in table 35 for the supplement. The

average number of ingredients per solution did not change

from the previous algorithm. Actually, solutions were

quite similar in terms of ingredients used, while their

levels were slightly adjusted. Average expected levels de­

creased for NE and CP but increased for CA, P and salt.

The average cost of ingredient, $126.24, is a reduction of

$0.81 (0.6%) from BEW, $9.03 (6.7%) from IS and $8.58

(6.4%) from RBB. However, the amount of computer resources needed to solve the problem showed a marked increase from

the previous three algorithms. An average of 0.75 second of CPU time was needed per solution. This increase does not seem large enough to preclude its utilization since the absolute level of resources needed is still fairly low.

Problems in convergence were observed, however. Upper bounds of 0.999 had to be set for each individual rate of success in order for the algorithm to converge. Also, the initial solution vector had to be set relatively close to the optimal point for convergence to occur.

Results were similar with the grain mix (table 36).

Changes in the BEW solution vectors were generally small.

However, the average cost of ingredients, $94.53, is $0.87

(0.9%), $5.88 (5.9%) and $7.72 (7.6%) lower than the same figures from BEW, IS and RBB respectively. Again, a no­ ticeable increase in CPU time was noted, but without sig- 159

nifleant practical consequences. However, the same conver­

gence problems as those described for the supplement were

encountered.

Algorithms discussed so far insure a 95% rate of success

via a Bonferroni inequality. However, the achieved prob­

ability level might be much larger than 0=95= There is an

economic cost that must be paid for an increase in the cer­

tainty level. Therefore, we would like the achieved rate

of success to be as close as possible to 95%. Table 37 re­ ports individual rates of success (per nutrient) as well as the global ones, estimated by Monte Carlo techniques from each solution vector. For both mixes, global rates of suc­ cess from IS and RBB algorithms were much larger than the desired 95%. In the IS case, this is inherent to the meth­ od itself which sets RHS at the exact desired levels, while by law, a success is defined to be 80% of the desired (tag) level. In the RBB case, the high probability is directly attributable to the over-estimation of each by Rahman-

Bender estimates. Therefore, individual rates of success are much larger than the prescribed 99%, which causes the global rates of success to exceed 95%. BEW yielded global rates much closer to 95%. In the supplement case, the achieved rate was significantly larger than 0.95, even though the difference was only 0.49% point. In the grain mix, the difference between the achieved and desired rates 16 1

for BEW was only 0.20% point and nonsignificant. The BUW

gave even better results. From table 37, one can see that

individual rates of success were lowered for NE(1) and CP

but raised for Ca, P and salt, when compared to BEW. Since

the former two nutrients are marginally more expensive than

the latter three, this adjustment resulted in a 0.6 to 0.9%

lower cost for BUW. Global rates of success for BUW were

very close and not significantly different from the desired

95%. In all cases, the marginal cost of certainty, at the

same individual rate of success, was larger for NE(1) than

for CP. This is why the final individual rates of success

from the BUW were lower for NE(1) than for CP, while their

marginal cost are equal.

An algorithm based on the integral of a multivariate

probability distribution function would lower the cost of

ingredients a step further,

1. by setting the global rate of success at the exact

desired rate, and

2. by utilizing the information from the covariances,

i.e., with everything else constant, the higher the

correlation between two nutrients within the same

ingredient, the greater the value of the ingredient.

Currently, there is no practical way of computing the lnte= gral of a multivariate normal probability distribution function of more than 2 variâtes. This is why Bonferroni 163

inequalities had to be used in the supplement and grain mix

cases. However, the BUW algorithm generated global rates

of success that were, for all practical considerations,

equal to the desired rates. Therefore, the only way that

an algorithm based on a multivariate probability integral

could lower substantially the cost is if correlations be­

tween nutrients are markedly positive. Judging by the mag­

nitude of the correlations reported in Appendix table 43,

this seems unlikely. This conclusion could be different at

a global rate of success lower than 95%- This, as well as

the performance of a multivariate probability integral al­

gorithm, were investigated on a total mixed ration (TMR)

with NE(1) and CP considered stochastic.

Table 38 reports results on the TMR for the BEW algor­

ithm as well as for a fully deterministic model. Under

such a model, only four ingredients are required in the

least-cost solution. When the global rate of success is

forced to be 50% or higher with a BEW model, all ingredi­

ents, including dry fat, enter the solution. NE(1), CP and

cost of ingredients increase as expected with global rate

of success. Level of computer resources remained fairly

low and convergence was achieved without any problem in all

Remember that BEW was putting an equal weight on the in­ dividual rates of success, i.e., at a 50% global rate of 165

success, both NE(1) and CP's rates of success were predet­

ermined at 75%. In contrast, the BUW algorithm lets indi­

vidual rates fluctuate, for additional savings (table 39).

Again, NE(1), CP and cost of ingredients increase with

probability level. Compared to BEW, there is a marked re­

duction in cost at all rates of success, the magnitude of

the difference being larger at lower probability levels.

Like with the BEW, an increase in the rate of success is

accompanied by an increase in the number of ingredients

in the solution vector. Convergence was achieved only when

the starting vector was fairly close to the optimum. To

alleviate this problem, solution vectors from BEW were used

as initial vectors for BUW. Therefore, reported values for

CPU time and number of iterations (Table 39) are substan­

tially biased downward.

Table 40 reports results obtained with the bivariate

normal probability integral model (MI). Again, the number

of ingredients in the solution increases as the rate of

success is raised. As expected, the cost of ingredients was the lowest under this model. When compared to the re­

sults from the best algorithm so far (BUW), MI solutions were $0.02 (1.0%), $0.01 (0.48%), $0,006 (0.29%), $0,005

(0.20%) and $0,003 (0.11%) cheaper at global rates of suc­ cess of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% respectively. Clearly, the benefits are a function of the the desired rbtes of sue- 167

cess. When a relatively high level of confidence is de­

sired (90%), there is very little to gain in switching from

a BUW model to a MI model. At low levels of confidence

(50%), possible savings may warrant an MI algorithm. How­

ever, the Ml model demands much greater computer resources.

Between 5 and 12 seconds of CPU time were needed per solu­

tion. The number of total iterations went over 300. Con­

vergence was a real problem and solution vectors from the

BUW had to be used as initial vectors. Parameters in MINOS

had to be changed from their default values. The penalty

parameter, p, had to be increased substantially. Because

of these complications, additional savings from using the

MI model might not be large enough to favor it over the BUW

model in practical applications.

Table 41 reports achieved rates of success as estimated

by Monte Carlo techniques. The solution vector of a fully deterministic model has only a 25% rate of success. This

is to say that in 75% of the cases, achieved levels of ei­

ther NE(1) or CP or both will be lower than the desired

levels. This does not say anything about the magnitude of

the difference which might be small enough so that no ad­ verse effects are observed in the animals. The desired level of nutrient is also a subject of controversy. Animal scientists have addressed the problem of uncertainty of feed composition and nutrient requirements by adding safety 169

Achieved rates of success for the BEW were substantially larger than the desired rates for all certainty levels low­ er than 90%. The BUW model resulted in achieved rates that were much closer to the desired ones. Only at a certainty level of 50% was the achieved rate markedly higher than de­ sired. Of course, with the MI model, achieved rates were equal to desired rates since this is an implicit constraint in the model.

In addition to the problem of safety margins added to the requirements, the 'best' rate of success for a TMR has yet to be determined. If returns-over-feed-costs is ac­ cepted as a criterion of optimality, then a nutrients' re­ sponse function is needed in order to estimate the optimal rate of success. Figure 13 should help one to understand the concepts involved. In this figure a fixed-input re­ sponse function has been used for the sake of simplicity but results would be the same for a smooth function. If input N is perfectly controlled (deterministic model), then level Nq is the optimal level of nutrient N and results In level Oq of output. However, because of the uncertainty in the composition of feedstuffs, the actual level of N fed is 17 1

mated. In chapter 2, we have shown that this is not

without problems. 173

E(f(N^|N^ N ) = f (E(N^) |N^, . . . ,Np) , where E

is complicated to derive even in simple cases. But

it is the function of importance in the outlined methodology.

When there is randomness in the level of nutrient,

the optimum level is higher than what is found under

a deterministic model. However, under uncertainty

in the response function, the optimal level of input

is lower than the value found under a deterministic model (Doll and Orazem, 1978). Therefore, it is not clear exactly what happens to the optimum level of input (nutrient) when both nutrient levels and re­ sponse functions are stochastic. 174

3.5 CONCLUSION

This research provided clear evidence of significant varia­

tion in levels of nutrient within feedstuffs. However,

riata used did not allow the partitioning of the total vari­

ation into components of variance. The goal of feed analy­

ses should be to reduce the variation to only the variance

from sampling and the variance from laboratory procedures.

Knowledge of such components would allow the determination

of optimal frequencies of sampling and analysis per feed

type. The economic value of a feed analysis could also be

determined.

The Rahman-Bender estimate of variance is clearly an

over-estimate of the true variability of nutrients in feed

mixes. However, an iterated procedure using this estimate

(RBI) yields satisfactory solutions when applied to a sim­

ple feed like a premix. For more complex feeds (supple­ ments and grain mixes), the uncertainty in more than one

nutrient must be taken into account. A model where indi­ vidual rates of success are computed and constrained by a

Bonferroni inequality (BUW) appeared to be 'best'. With this algorithm, reduction in costs in the order of 5% can be expected as compared to a model representing the actual industry standards.

An algorithm based on the computation of a bivariate normal probability integral (MI) does not appear to be 176 promising, unless the desired rate of success is relatively low (< 70%). Optimal levels of confidence for the two big­ gest nutritional inputs in livestock production, energy and protein, remain to be determined. Chapter IV

CONCLUSION

Research reported here has shown that:

1. There is evidence of the applicability of the prin­

ciple of energy-protein substitution in the growth

of cattle. The use of tables of nutrient require­

ments may result in a lost profit of 0.5 to 2.5

cents/head/day when used on growing beef cattle

weighing 200 kg. Mathematical models should be add­

ed to tables for a better of minimum nut­

rient requirements.

2. Many functional forms can give a good statistical

fit to a given biological system. Biological as

well as economic theory should be used as additional

criteria in the determination of the 'best' func­

tion. Past research in agricultural economics may

have yielded wrong conclusions due to the over-use

of functions unacceptable for biological systems.

3. The variation in composition of feedstuffs is sub­

stantial and the use of a deterministic LP model re­

sults in unacceptable 'least-cost' solutions.

- 177 - 178

A Rahman-Bender estimate of variance can be used in simple feed models like a premix, i.e., when there are less than three sources for the stochastic nut­ rient in the final solution. An algorithm based on a Rahman-Bender estimate iterated on the penalty pa­ rameter (IRB) presents the best compromise between simplicity, computational costs and closeness to the true optimal solution.

Rahman-Bender estimates of variance should not be used in joint-constrained programming problems like supplement feeds and grain mixes.

In such cases, non-linear programming models are es­ sential and should not present enormous difficulties in application provided that an actual efficient al­ gorithm (MINOS) be supplemented with an editor code.

Among different models investigated, BUW, based on a

Bonferroni inequality without pre-assigned probabil­ ity levels per nutrient, appears to be 'best'.

The future of a model based on a multivariate inte­ gral (MI) does not appear to be promising. Because correlation coefficients between nutrients within feedstuffs are generally low (-0 . 5

Additionally, convergence with Ml is uncertain and relatively huge amounts of computer resources are nee de d. 179

Much research is still needed in this field. We suggest:

1. Contemporary functions for the growth of animals

with factors other than nutritional inputs added to

the model, should be developed. Applicability of a

dynamic programming approach should also be investi­

gated.

2. There is an obvious need for full and reliable vari­

ance-covariance matrices of nutrient within feeds­

tuffs. The total variance should be partitioned

into useful variance components in order to deter­

mine the value of a feed analysis.

3. The 'best' level of certainty in composition of

livestock rations needs to be determined as well as

factors affecting such a level. REFERENCES CITED
