DIET PROBLEM EXAMPLE<br>Example:<br>The Feed 'N Ship feedlot fattens cattle for local farmers and ships them to meat markets in Kansas City<br>and Omaha. The owners of the feedlot seek to determine the amounts of cattle feed to buy to satisfy<br>minimum nutritional standards and, at the same time, minimize total feed costs.<br>Each grain stock contains different amounts of four nutritional ingredients: A, B, C, and D. Here are<br>the ingredient contents of each grain, in ounces per pound of grain:<br>FEED<br>INGREDIENT<br>STOCK X<br>STOCK Y<br>STOCK Z<br>4 oz<br>2 oz<br>3 oz<br>O oz<br>8 oz<br>3 oz<br>2 oz<br>1 oz<br>6 oz<br>1 oz<br>2 oz<br>4 oz<br>D<br>The cost per pound of grains X, Y, and Z is S0.02, S0.04, and s0.025, respectively. The minimum require-<br>ment per cow per month is 64 ounces of ingredient A, 80 ounces of ingredient B, 16 ounces of ingredient<br>C, and 128 ounces of ingredient D.<br>The feedlot faces one additional restriction it can obtain only 500 pounds of stock Z per month<br>from the feed supplier, regardless of its need. Because there are usually 100 cows at the Feod 'N Ship<br>feedlot at any given time, this constraint limits the amount of stock Z for use in the feed of cach cow to<br>no more than 5 pounds, or 80 ounces, per month.<br>
