Feed Conversion & Profit Control

Feed is usually the biggest recurring cost in a farm, so small improvements in FCR can change the full crop economics.

Use feeding trays, sampling and growth checks instead of fixed feed charts alone. Feed should follow biomass and appetite.

Track cost per kilogram produced, not only total sales. Include feed, seed, electricity, labour, medicine, transport, ice and finance cost.

Review every crop after harvest and identify whether profit changed because of survival, growth, price or feed conversion.
