Sažetak	Feed ration formulation is the process of selecting and blending feed ingredients to meet animal nutrient requirements while optimizing cost and feed acceptance. Formalized by veterinary nutritionists in the 1960s-1970s, the method integrates knowledge of nutrient requirements (energy, protein, minerals, vitamins) with ingredient composition and cost data. Modern ration formulation uses linear programming and decision support software to identify cost-minimizing combinations that satisfy nutritional constraints.	Milk yield recording is a systematic method for measuring and documenting the volume of milk produced by individual dairy animals across lactation cycles. Formalized in the early 20th century by dairy scientists including W. L. Gaines, the practice forms the backbone of modern dairy herd management and genetic improvement programs. It enables objective assessment of production performance and identification of high-producing animals for breeding.
