Feed Conversion Ratio Calculator
Calculate feed efficiency and conversion ratios for livestock and aquaculture
Note: This calculator determines feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency, and cost analysis. Lower FCR values indicate better feed efficiency.
Formula: FCR = Total Feed Fed ÷ Weight Gained
Feed Efficiency = Weight Gained ÷ Total Feed Fed

Efficiency Rating
Excellent: FCR < 2.0 (Very efficient feed conversion)
Good: FCR 2.0-3.0 (Standard industry performance)
Fair: FCR 3.0-4.0 (Below average, room for improvement)
Poor: FCR > 4.0 (Inefficient, requires management review)
Industry FCR Benchmarks
Beef Cattle
6.0-8.0
Pigs
2.5-3.5
Broiler Chickens
1.5-1.8
Fish (Tilapia)
1.2-1.8
Important: FCR values vary by species, age, genetics, feed quality, and management practices.
Use these calculations as guidelines and compare within similar production systems.
Regular monitoring and adjustment of feeding programs is essential for optimal performance.
