    The feed conversion ratio is derived mathematically as feed intake divided by weight gain. It is an important parameter in poultry production as it justifies the input to output. Feed conversion ratio can be improved through the following:

    – Maintaining good flock health

    – Reducing feed wastage to the bearest minimum

    – Access to cool and clean water adlibitum

    – Feeding fresh feed free from contaminations
