Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are various approaches for determining an animal feed formulation. In some implementations, a system may obtain data that provides characteristics of an animal population located at a site. The system may identify a target growth schedule for the animal population. The system may use a data processing model to predict nutrition requirements for tissue growth in the animal population, using the target growth schedule and the characteristics of the animal population, as the model predicts nutrition requirements based on projected nitrogenous energy requirements for the tissue growth. The system may identify a feed formulation producible from a combination of animal feed ingredients to satisfy the nutrition requirements for tissue growth. The system may generate a data output for use of the feed formulation with the animal population, the data output indicating the identified feed formulation producible from the combination of animal feed ingredients.
