• Average Daily Gain (ADG)


  Estimates how much an animal's body weight increases per day over a specific period
• Average Daily Gain (ADG)


  • Lower ADG typically indicates suboptimal growth performance and productivity, which can be attributed to various factors
  • Higher ADG signifies superior growth performance and productivity, with animals exhibiting faster rates of weight gain
• Broilers should achieve ADG values ranging from 50 to 70 grams per day or even higher under optimal management conditions
• ADG values ranging from 700 to 900 grams per day during the grow-finish period are considered optimal for modern swine production systems
• Average Daily Gain (ADG)

  Gain in Weight (Final weight - Initial weight) / Total Feeding Days
• Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)

  Measures the feed intake per unit output (eggs, meat, milk), the amount of feed required per kilogram of gain
• Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)

  • A higher FCR indicates poorer feed efficiency, signifying that more feed is required per unit of weight gain. It implies higher production costs and reduced profitability for animal producers
  • A lower FCR reflects superior feed efficiency, indicating that less feed is needed for the same amount of weight gain
• In swine production, achieving FCR values around 2.5 to 3.5 is considered typical, with more efficient systems aiming for FCR values below 3.0
• In commercial broiler production, FCR targets typically range from 1.182 (ALW= 891g ALW) on day 21 and 1.367 (ALW= 1.436 kg) on day 28
