Abstract

The performance of farm animals is closely related to the nutritional program developed on the property. Making the definitions of the characteristics of the animals and food that will be involved in the nutritional program is of fundamental importance, as it will make it possible to formulate a ration that will meet the nutritional needs of the animals and that will optimize the utilization of the food. Thus, the aim of this review is to present the basic principles that must be considered for the formulation of a feed and to demonstrate, in a didactic way, examples of feed formulation that can be performed manually or with the aid of a calculator.
