The weight of a sheep increased from 25kg to 45kg in two months.

If the total consumption during the period was 60kg. Determine the feed conversion ratio
1 : 1
1 : 2
3 : 1
4 : 1

Explanation

Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
= (Mass gained)/(Mass of feed)
= Mass Gained = 45kg – 25kg = 20kg
= Mass of feed = 60kg
= FCR = \(\frac{20}{60}\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)
= 1 : 3
