Various ingredients which are nutritionally balanced, pellatable, palatable and easy to store are used to formulating the balanced feed.
The basic requirements for the feed formulation are
- Nutritional requirement of the species
- Age wise feeding phases and feeding habits of the species
- Locally available cost effective raw material with their nutritional values
- Nutrient utilization by the species from different raw materials used in feed formulations
- Feed consumption time
- Inclusion of needed feed additives to balance the diet
- Desired feed processing type
About 50% of the variable production cost in animal production is feed. It is therefore essential that feed formulations are accurate because once feeds are formulated and manufactured; it is often too late to remedy any mistakes or inaccuracies without incurring significant expenses.

Such control will prevents contamination of end product by microorganism, insects, rodents, other animal pests, foreign objects, chemicals.
