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.
What is the average feed ratio for sheep?

Why is dog still losing weight 3 weeks after giving birth?
I hope that you are giving the dog enough food. She is having to feed her puppies milk, and that takes extra energy. Mother dogs need extra food in order to feed themselves and their puppies. Try increasing the amount of food, and if that doesn't work, take her to the vet to be sure she is not sick.
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.
