# Livestock Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) ## Definition **Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)** is the amount of feed required to produce one unit of animal product (meat, milk, or eggs). It measures the efficiency with which animals convert feed into desired output. **Formula:** ``` FCR = Feed Input (kg) / Output Gained (kg) ``` A **lower FCR** indicates better efficiency (less feed needed per unit of output). ## Worked Example A broiler chicken farm records the following over a growing period: - **Total feed consumed:** 9 kg - **Weight gain:** 5 kg (from 0.05 kg chick to 5.05 kg market weight) **Calculation:** ``` FCR = 9 kg feed / 5 kg weight gain = 1.8 ``` **Interpretation:** This chicken required 1.8 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of body weight. This is typical for modern broiler chickens and indicates good feed efficiency. --- **For comparison, typical FCR values:** - Broiler chickens: 1.5–2.0 - Pigs: 2.5–3.5 - Beef cattle: 6–10 - Fish (tilapia): 1.5–2.5
