Broiler chickens

Stocking density, production efficiency index, intake and conversion, minimum shed ventilation and poultry litter as fertilizer.

Stocking density

Calculate the housing density of broilers in birds per square metre and kilos of live weight per square metre, and the area needed for the flock.

Birds per square metre and kilos per square metre

Production efficiency index (IEP)

Calculate the production efficiency index (IEP) of the broiler flock from viability, average weight, age at slaughter and feed conversion.

IEP of the broiler batch from livability, weight, age, and conversion

Intake and feed conversion

Calculate the feed conversion of the broiler flock, the feed consumed, the feed cost per kilo of live weight and the average intake per bird.

Feed consumed, conversion and feed cost per kg of live weight

Minimum shed ventilation

Calculate the minimum ventilation flow of the poultry house from live weight and the ventilation rate, and the air changes per hour in the house volume.

Minimum air flow and air changes per hour in the shed

Poultry litter as fertilizer

Calculate the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supplied by poultry litter per hectare, from the amount applied and the material analysis.

Poultry litter nutrients and how much it supplies per hectare
