Somewhere between 2 oz. and 10 oz. depending on the breed. Netherland Dwarf and Polish require 2 oz. Flemish Giant and Giant Chinchillas require 10 oz.

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!


How much and how often should you feed your 13 pound averaged sized pet rabbit?

i have a 12.5 pound french lop eared rabbit. He eats about 1 1/3 cup of rabbit feed each night. And a little bit of parsley through the day. You can feed your rabbit a little over a cup every day at the same time, or feed him/her half in the morning and the remaining at night. BUT be sure to stay with the feeding routine. If you feed your rabbit all his/her food at the same time, remember what time you fed your rabbit and feed him/her that same time the next day.


Does alugbati can serve as feed for rabbit?

I wouldn't recommend it. It is a foreign plant to rabbits. You should not feed it that sorry... Rabbits LOVE bananas though!


What is the feed to gain ratio in pigs?

In livestock operations (including pigs), efficiency of converting feed into muscle mass is critical for success of the farm. The feed to gain ratio is a unitless number that expresses how well an animal converts feed into mass. For example. If an animal has an average daily gain of 500g and consumes 600g of feed during this time, the feed to gain ratio (F:G) would be: 600g/500g = 1.2 This can be interpreted as the pig needing 1.2 lbs (or kg, etc) of feed in order to gain 1 lb (or kg, etc) of weight. The lower the F:G ratio, the more efficient the pig (or animal) is at converting feed into mass. Typical F:G ratios for pigs range between 0.9 and 1.5, depending on life stage. A ratio above 1.5 typically indicates a poor producing pig. Depending on the institution, a ratio of gain to feed may be more often utilized. This too expresses feed efficiency, but as an inverse of the previous ratio. So the same pig who has an average daily gain of 600g and consumes 500g during that time period would have a G:F of: 500g/600g = 0.83 This is interpreted as the pig gaining 0.83 lb (or kg, etc) per 1 lb (or kg, etc). When using G:F to express efficiency, a higher number is more desirable.

How do you calculate feed conversion ratio for broilers?

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.


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.


What food conversion ratio for prawn?

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.
