System and method for optimizing animal production based on environmental nutrient inputs

A method for generating an animal feed formulation based on environmental nutrient inputs, comprising:

• receiving a listing of environmental nutrient inputs;
• generating a projection of the consumption of the environmental nutrient inputs by an animal;
• determining a set of animal nutritional requirements in view of the consumption of the environmental nutrient inputs by the animal based on the characteristics of the animal;
• and
• generating an optimized animal feed formulation based on the animal requirements.

A system for generating an animal feed formulation, comprising:

• a simulator engine configured to receive a plurality of animal information inputs and generate animal requirements based on the animal information inputs, the animal information inputs including a listing of environmental ingredients available to the animal, wherein at least one of the animal information inputs is designated as a variable input;
• a formulator engine, the formulator engine configured to receive a plurality of animal feed ingredient inputs and generate an animal feed formulation composed of the animal feed ingredients based on the animal requirements and projected consumption of the environmental ingredients by the animal;
• and
• an enterprise supervisor engine configured to optimize the animal feed formulation according to at least one optimization criteria, and further configured to generate an optimized value for the at least one variable input based on the at least one optimization criteria.
