Feed conversion ratio is the measure of how feed intake is converted to live weight. Broiler chickens have good food conversion ratio.

Also, remember, broilers breeders are fatter than layer breeders, so maintenance requirements are also an issue for bigger animals, also, they produce less number of eggs, so if you estimate FCR based on number of eggs layed, FCR is different

[Edwin Weber Inibi]

Very true

[Bello Bashir Bello]

Good takes

[EMMANUEL OMIDIJI]

I am not sure we can compare layers and broilers FCR because they are different chicken strains reared for different purposes.

[ADEDEJI SAMUEL]

I agree. Different purpose with different life cycle and genetic makeup

[Joshua Teryima Orkaa]

Ok

Broiler are meaty type there conversion ratio is higher than layers

[Saviour Uyinosa]

true…

[Nwuko Emeka Calistus]

Is it for broiler or layers, because poultry birds are many and they have their different conversion ratio

[Joshua Teryima Orkaa]

I observed this also

[Vasanthi Jayakumar]

Exact question. I think the broiler breeders (Parents) also having good FCR like broiler birds. But we are giving the restricted feeding to them becos of the purpose of Hatching egg production.

For commercial layer parents – the FCR will be less comparing the broiler parents, bcos the purpose is for more number of table eggs production

[Kabir AbdulRasaq]

Yes

A very good observation 👍, LL I love that
