[QUOTE="farmer rich, post: 112450, member: 1952"] How does it do this without knowing individual intakes? or is feed efficiecy different from feed conversion ratio? For example bull A consumes 8kg of feed per day and gains 1.4kg liveweight. Bull B consumes 8.5kg of feed per day but also gains 1.4kg liveweight. Bull A clearly has a better FCR than Bull B but they both eat an average of 8.25kg of feed to gain the same weight. This gives both bulls a FCR of 5.89-1 Bull A actual FCR = 5.71-1 Bull B actual FCR = 6.07-1 [/QUOTE]
