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 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.

Formula culculation of feed conversion ratio?

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.


How does digestibility affect feed conversion ratio in swine?

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.

What is the average feed conversion ratio for hogs on full feed?

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!


What is the best fcr in poultry?

The best feed conversion ratio (FCR) in poultry varies depending on the type of bird and production system, but generally, broilers can achieve FCR values as low as 1.5 to 1.8 under optimal conditions. This means that for every kilogram of feed consumed, the birds can gain 1.5 to 1.8 kilograms of body weight. Achieving the best FCR involves factors like genetics, nutrition, management practices, and environmental conditions. Continuous improvement in these areas can lead to better FCR outcomes.


Can you feed broilers with broiler meat?

Hi there. I am from Alabama, USA. I have been buying broiler meat from a farmer not too far from where I live for almost 20 years. Recently I have learnt that this farmer feeds his broilers with broiler meat. Is this possible. Now that I have learnt that his chickens are actually cannabals I have decided to stay away from them. Is this allowed. Can you actually feed broilers with broiler meat. Also that probably means that he is feeding his broiler with dead broilers on his farm. I have been told that he actually grinds up the dead broiler meat and feeds this to his broilers. He must be making a good living because he has been driving 4x4's since I have known him and the current one he is driving is almost $120,000.


How do you calculate FCR for hens and layers?

FCR = total Feed consumed by birds/total weight gain e.g. 1000 broilers consumed 3500 kg feed in 45 days of rearing Total wight of birds is 1750 kg from 1000 birds FCR = 3500/1750 = 2.0
