AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a system that helps create the best possible values for different inputs in an animal production system. It uses a simulator to create a performance projection based on different animal information inputs, and an enterprise supervisor to create the best possible value for those inputs based on specific criteria and a feed formulation. The technical effect of this system is to help optimize animal production and create the best possible conditions for animal health and well-being.

Problems solved by technology

The patent text describes a system and method for optimizing animal production by using inputs related to the animal production facility, such as animal environment, animal type, animal feed ingredients, animal health, animal metabolic status, and animal economic data. The system and method determine the effect of modifications to these inputs on production efficiency, cost, and quality of the produced animals. The technical problem addressed by the patent is how to maximize animal production while reducing costs associated with the production process.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be evident to one skilled in the art, however, that the exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, structures and devices are shown in diagram form in order to facilitate description of the exemplary embodiments.

[0020] In at least one exemplary embodiment illustrated below, a computer system is described which has a central processing unit (CPU) that executes sequences of instructions contained in a memory. More specifically, execution of the sequences of instructions causes the CPU to perform steps, which are described below. The instructions may be loaded into a random access memory (RAM) for execution by the CPU from a read-only memory (ROM), a mass storage device, or some other persistent storage. In other embodiments, multiple workstations, dat...
