Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Feed Conversion Ratio: A Feasibility Study of Using Short-Term FCR Data for Long-Term Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) Prediction [PDF]

Animals
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a critical indicator of production efficiency in livestock husbandry. Improving FCR is essential for optimizing resource utilization and enhancing productivity.

Polymorphisms in SHISA3 and RFC3 genes and their association with feed conversion ratio in Hu sheep [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
In animal husbandry, feed efficiency is a crucial economic trait. In this study, the general linear model was used to perform association analysis for various genotypes and feed conversion ratio (FCR)-related traits.

Management factors affecting mortality, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of grow-finishing pigs [PDF]

Animal, 2014
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of animal management and farm facilities on total feed intake (TFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and mortality rate (MORT) of grower-finishing pigs.

Feed Components and Timing to Improve the Feed Conversion Ratio for Sustainable Aquaculture Using Starch. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Aquaculture contributes to the sustainable development of food security, marine resource conservation, and economy. Shifting aquaculture feed from fish meal and oil to terrestrial plant derivatives may result in cost savings. However, many carnivorous fish cannot be sustained on plant-derived materials, necessitating the need for the identification of ...

Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Performance Group Estimation Based on Predicted Feed Intake for the Optimisation of Beef Production [PDF]

Sensors, 2023
This paper reports on the use of estimates of individual animal feed intake (made using time spent feeding measurements) to predict the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), a measure of the amount of feed consumed to produce 1 kg of body mass, for an individual ...

Development of a Feed Conversion Ratio Prediction Model for Yorkshire Boars Using Cumulative Feed Intake. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a key indicator of pig productivity, but its measurement is labor-intensive and time-consuming. This study aimed to construct a predictive model for cumulative feeding intake (CFI), which could help estimate FCR more efficiently and reduce the time and effort needed for measurements.

Jejunal Transcriptomic Profiling for Differences in Feed Conversion Ratio in Slow-Growing Chickens. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2021
Improving feed efficiency is an important breeding target for the poultry industry; to achieve this, it is necessary to understand the molecular basis of feed efficiency. We compared the jejunal transcriptomes of low- and high-feed conversion ratio (FCR) slow-growing Korat chickens (KRs). Using an original sample of 75 isolated 10-week-old KR males, we

The intake pattern and feed preference of layer hens selected for high or low feed conversion ratio. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2019
Feed accounts for the greatest proportion of egg production costs and there is substantial variation in feed to egg conversion ratio (FCR) efficiency between individual hens. Despite this understanding, there is a paucity of information regarding layer hen feeding behaviour, diet selection and its impact on feed efficiency.

Novel insight into the feed conversion ratio in laying hens and construction of its prediction model. [PDF]

Poult Sci
Feed efficiency (FE) is an important economic factor in poultry production, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) is one of the most widely used measures of FE. Factors associated with FCR include genetics, the environment, and other factors. However, the mechanisms responsible for FCR in chickens are still less well appreciated.
