ABSTRACT
Linear programming has been useful in the formulation of feeding guidelines for lactating cows. The most economical rations can be fed. Newer feeding management systems are being developed as new nutritional findings permit greater refinement. This report describes the use of computerized feeding management systems in helping dairy farmers make sound economic decisions. Such procedures are useful to the feed industry, dairy consultants, and in development of extension education programs.
