its a FEED conversion Ratio
fcr= total feed consume by birds/ total weight of birds.

In feed-based aquaculture,
natural productivity within the culture system typically accounts for
little to none of the harvest weight of the culture species. The
nutrients in the feed are converted into harvest biomass, and feed conversion ratio
(FCR) estimated from the amount of feed applied divided by net biomass
increase typically ranges from 1.0 to 2.5. The FCR is calculated from
the “as is” feed weight vs the live weight increase of the culture
animals. -
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the conventional measure of livestock production efficiency: the weight of feed intake divided by weight gained by the animal. Lower FCR values indicate higher efficiency. FCRs are typically 6.0–10.0 for beef, 2.7–5.0 for pigs, 1.7–2.0 for chicken and 1.0–2.4 for farmed fish and shrimp.Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the conventional measure of livestock production efficiency: the weight of feed intake divided by weight gained by the animal.
