Formula and method

Cycle feed = chicks placed × feed per placed bird. Saleable birds = chicks × (1 − mortality fraction).

Feed is budgeted on chicks placed while projected output adjusts bird count for mortality.

Worked example

One thousand chicks at 4.5 kg feed each require 4,500 kg, while 5% mortality leaves about 950 saleable birds.

Understanding the result

Treat the calculated values as a planning estimate. Compare them with your field records, product information, local conditions and operational capacity before acting.

Important: Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and the assumptions shown. Local soil, weather, crop, animal and market conditions can change the appropriate decision.
