Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
Feed mass spent per unit of growth in the grow-out systems. A climbing ratio means feed going to waste and water — a welfare, cost, and water-quality signal read together with disease incidence.
Threshold Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Efficient | ≤ 1.5 | OK |
| Loose | 1.5–2.5 | WARN |
| Wasteful | > 2.5 | CRIT |
Formula
Mass of feed delivered ÷ mass of stock gained over the grow-out interval.
