Agway uses chance-constrained programming to formulate commercial feeds for animals. The finished feeds averaged 40 percent greater nutritional consistency and were lower in cost than feeds formulated by traditional linear programming with a margin of safety. Formulating animal feeds by chance-constrained programming saves Agway, Inc. more than $250000 per year.
