Question 1 Report

A boiler consumed 6.0kg of feed and gained 2.0kg weight in six weeks. Determie the feed: gain ratio 

Answer Details
The feed to gain ratio is the amount of feed consumed by an animal to gain a unit of weight. To determine the feed to gain ratio in this case, we divide the amount of feed consumed by the weight gained by the broiler. Feed to gain ratio = Feed consumed / Weight gained Substituting the values given in the question, we have: Feed to gain ratio = 6.0 kg / 2.0 kg = 3:1 Therefore, the feed to gain ratio for the broiler is 3:1. This means that the broiler consumed 3 kg of feed to gain 1 kg of weight.
