Web-Based Ration Balancing Tool
M, RadivojevicA, MileticV, Rajicic
Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for free software for broiler ration balancing, which is evident within relevant scientific and professional communities. While some available applications account for certain procurement costs, more affordable options usually come with limited functionality. Many users require customized solutions that meet their specific needs. Developing such projects requires collaboration between professionals in animal feed technology, animal science, and software development. Multidisciplinary projects could develop much faster if teams were not required to build solutions from scratch. The availability of open-source code, ready for modification and further development, could significantly enhance efficiency in these endeavors. The Web-Based Ration Balancing Tool (WBRB) is a server-side application designed to optimize the formulation of rations for chicken broilers. This tool streamlines the process of creating ration recipes, reducing the risk of errors associated with manual calculations or general spreadsheet-based solutions. With proper software integration, WBRB can even run offline. This free and open-source application is available to all interested users, and developers can modify the existing code to meet specific needs and requirements. WBRB is built using HTML and PHP, with MySQL as its relational database management system.(AU)
