Biomass is the total amount of all living material in a given area. Example- the total biomass in 1 cubic foot of your lawn would most likely include grass, worms, insects, and maybe some fungi.

Biomass is also used to describe fuel sources from living or recently living organisms. Wood, waste fuels, and alcohol fuels are all examples of this kind of biomass.

How much boimass of chicken can 5 000 kg of corn support?

The amount of biomass of chicken that 5,000 kg of corn can support depends on various factors, including the efficiency of feed conversion and the nutritional needs of the chickens. Typically, chickens can convert corn into body mass at a ratio of about 2:1 to 3:1, meaning it takes approximately 2 to 3 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of chicken biomass. Therefore, 5,000 kg of corn could potentially support around 1,667 to 2,500 kg of chicken biomass, depending on the specific feed conversion efficiency achieved.
