Formal Modeling of Optimal Inventorying in Animal Husbandry

Farms have different activities, such as raising different types of animals or focusing on developing different branches of crop production, and very often they combine livestock and crop production activities to reduce their financial losses. On large farms, animal husbandry is just one of their activities. From the perspective of complex systems, the agricultural holding can be considered as a multi-feedback system, which includes a subsystem for crop production, a subsystem of the household and a subsystem for animal husbandry. Livestock, when considered as a production process, can be presented as a network of actions, the links between them and criteria for their identification. One of the main costs for livestock farms is the cost of food supplements. The paper presents the possibility of applying a mathematical model for stock management of feed additives for pig nutrition as well as its implementation through an Internet-based application. This creates a local and global information advisory module for the farmer to make a decision when managing a food supplement storehouse.
