Reduced FCR in broiler feed formulation

Reducing feed conversion rate through optimized feed formulation and raw material selection

or

Detail description

Reduced FCR through optimized feed formulation lowers feed costs and resource use in broiler production. This practice improves growth performance by selecting high-quality raw materials and fine-tuning rations, reducing FCR by up to 0.10 points (e.g. from 1.80 to 1.70). It decreases grain harvesting, water use for irrigation, and land use for feed crops, supporting sustainability without increasing climate impact. Implemented successfully despite limited protein sources and rising feed costs, it enhances profitability and resource efficiency in broiler farming.
