A rabbit farm aims to produce \(500\) kg of live weight each month. Rabbits are fed a diet with a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 3.5 kg feed per kg weight gain. The total feed can be a mixture of a basal diet (14 % protein, 10 % fat, cost \(\text{₦}150\) per kg) and a high‑protein concentrate (30 % protein, 5 % fat, cost \(\text{₦}250\) per kg). The concentrate may constitute at most 10 % of the total dry‑matter feed. Rabbits require 0.12 kg of protein per kg of weight gain. Determine the minimum total amount of feed (kg) that must be purchased each month and the corresponding total feed cost, assuming the concentrate is used at its maximum allowable proportion.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Total feed = 1,750 kg; total cost = ₦280,000
B. Total feed = 1,750 kg; total cost = ₦260,000
C. Total feed = 1,800 kg; total cost = ₦300,000
D. Total feed = 1,500 kg; total cost = ₦225,000
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Total feed = 1,750 kg; total cost = ₦280,000
