Input Details

Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) determines feed requirements

If provided, feed calculations will be scaled to reach this weight

If provided, the calculator will show dates for each growth stage and approximate finishing date.

Notes

  • Starter Feed (0-6 weeks): Contains 18-20% protein, essential for early growth and development.
  • Grower Feed (6-12 weeks): Contains 12-14% protein, suitable for continued growth.
  • Feed Requirements: These are estimates based on typical broiler/meat chicken growth rates. Actual requirements may vary based on breed, health, environmental conditions, and feed quality.
  • Water: Chicks require approximately twice as much water as feed. Ensure a continuous supply of clean drinking water.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor your chickens' growth and health, adjusting feed quantities as necessary.
