1. A system for generating optimized values for variable inputs to an animal production system, the system comprising: (i) a processor coupled to a memory, the processor running one or more programs, at least one of the programs comprising, a simulator engine configured to receive a plurality of animal information inputs and generate a performance projection, wherein one of the animal information inputs is designated as a variable input that is varied by the system to generate a value; and an enterprise supervisor engine configured to generate a first and a second optimized value for the variable input, wherein the first optimized value is generated from an optimization criteria, and wherein the second optimized value is generated by the system from empirical feedback received by the system after application of the first optimized value of the variable input; and (ii) a user interface configured to allow a user to provide input and receive output from the system.
