Many objective optimization and decision support for dairy cattle feed formulation.

ABSTRACT: Livestock feed formulation has significant impacts on livestock production and the environment. Linear and nonlinear constraints, framed as nutritional requirements and specific objectives, present a continuous challenge in achieving optimal feed formulation. Many mathematical models, including linear programming, have been adopted to tackle this issue. However, this approach is often excessively restrictive, primarily focusing on cost minimization and overlooking variability in nutrient content and fulfillment of other objectives. Conventional feed formulation approaches, characterized by their limited operational scope and inadequacy for a robust decision-making process, present challenges to growers aiming to achieve objectives beyond cost minimization. This study proposes a many-object
