See the efficiency of the broiler batch from livability, weight, age and feed conversion.
Pre-sizing and estimating tool: the results do not replace a design, calculation, or report signed by a qualified professional, nor verification against the applicable standards.
IEP with conversions of 1.6 to 2,0, keeping livability, weight, and age; the highlighted bar is yours.
How viability from 90% to 98% changes the IEP, with the other data fixed; the point is your flock.
Drag the controls to simulate data different from what you entered (from 30% less to 30% more) and watch the result change instantly.
IEP of the batch for livabilities of 90% to 98% and conversions of 1.6 to 1,9, with the weight and age entered.
The calculation done in steps, with the values you entered.
The calculation memo gathers this page's inputs, results, equations, assumptions, and references, with fields for project, responsible person, and review. The full report also includes the charts and interpretations, in color. In the print window, choose Save as PDF.
Enter the batch's livability, the average weight at slaughter, the age in days, and the feed conversion. The calculator shows the IEP and how it changes with conversion and livability.
Livability of 96%, average weight of 2.5 kg, 42 days and feed conversion of 1.70.
IEP = (96 × 2.5) ÷ (42 × 1.70) × 100 = 240 ÷ 71.4 × 100 = 336.
There is no single number. It is used to compare batches of the same line, system, and region. Compare with your farm's history.
Because each bird lost is a housing and feed cost with no product sold. One point less of viability lowers the IEP almost as much as an increase in feed conversion.
Yes, as long as management conditions are similar. Differences in climate, health and density change the result.
Feed conversion only shows feed efficiency. The IEP combines viability, weight and age into one performance measure for the flock.
Important notice: the Agrocalcs tools make estimates and preliminary sizing based on the data entered and on published engineering methods. They do not replace a design, a calculation report or a report signed by a qualified professional (CREA/ART), nor verification against the applicable technical standards and legislation, such as the Regulatory Standards of the Ministry of Labor. Material and fuel properties vary: check with the manufacturer or with analyses of your process before deciding. By using the site, you agree to the Terms of Use.
