How It Works

Calculate the feed cost per pound of live weight gain for beef, pork, and poultry production from feed price and feed conversion ratio

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Feed price — The feed price recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Feed conversion ratio — The feed conversion ratio recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the feed cost per lb gain result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the feed price, feed conversion ratio for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate the feed cost per pound of live weight gain for beef, pork, and poultry production from feed price and feed conversion ratio. Use the feed cost per lb gain result to inform your clinical assessment.
