The feed conversion ratio of pompano is also known as FCR. This is 17g in most cases. The numbers can fluctuate depending on various reasonings for the feed conversion.
The average feed conversion is the number of kilograms of feed required to feed a pound of a bird. The average feed conversion for turkeys is 3 kilograms.
feed conversion ratio: for every one broiler,a certain amount of feed is consumed. eg: 100 broilers is feed 800kg of feed 100 : 800 100 : 800 1 : 8 so for every one(1) broiler,eight(8)kg of feed is consumed.
The formula for calculating feed conversion ratio (FCR) is: FCR = Total feed consumption / Livestock weight gain. This formula helps determine the efficiency of feed utilization in livestock production, with a lower FCR indicating better efficiency in converting feed into animal weight gain.
The food conversion ratio (FCR) for prawns typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.5, meaning that for every kilogram of feed consumed, prawns gain about 0.4 to 0.67 kilograms of body weight. This ratio can vary depending on factors such as species, farming conditions, feed quality, and water temperature. Efficient feed management is crucial for optimizing growth and minimizing environmental impacts in prawn aquaculture.
The digestibility of a feed depends on how much undigestible material there is present in it (fibre/cellulose). For example, straw is a lot less digestible than barley grain, although they contain exactly the same ammount of carbohydrates. So, if a feed is really hard for the animal to digest, this will affect how much ME (metabolisable energy) it gets out of it, so the feed conversion ratio will be higher with a more digestible feed, and lower with a feed of lower digestibility.
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to one.
I checked another website and the easiest thing to feed a Pompano fish is Sea Fleas. You could catch them in the Ocean sometimes while their swimming close to the shore. You just take a bucket and scoop at the waves.
Cattle average from 5.5 to 6.5 lbs of feed per lb of gain. These numbers can vary a lot depending on weight of cattle entering the feedyard, genetic background etc...

Feed efficiency in swine refers to the ratio of weight gain to feed intake, typically expressed as the amount of feed required to produce a kilogram of weight gain. This measure is crucial for assessing the productivity and profitability of swine production, as improved feed efficiency can lead to lower feed costs and enhanced growth rates. Factors influencing feed efficiency include genetics, diet composition, health, and management practices. Generally, a lower feed conversion ratio indicates better feed efficiency.
A good feed conversion would be 2 lbs of feed to yield 1 lb of live bird weight. Anything less than that is great. The lowest I've ever seen was 1.6 lbs of feed to yield 1 lb of live bird. A system has been developed that stimulates more active crops and gizzards of meat chicken. This leads to enhanced digestion of their feed and healthier birds with lower mortality and improved feed efficiency. We have recorded Feed Conversion Ratios of under 1.5 to 1!
for finishing pigs the cost will be varied but on a specialist ration you would expect a feed conversion ratio of 2.86kg of feed to kg of weight gain a ration cost of approx £220 tonne. this gives a feed cost of £220 for every 350 kg of weight gain or £.63 per kg .None of these figures include any costs for labour,power,buildings,water,vet bedding or any other expense that evades me just now! if you were to use traditional breeds will cost more to finish them (lower feed conversion ratio)
