    Question: What is the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of a standard broiler chicken reared in an enclosed house? (IBPS AFO 2020)

    Options:

    1 – 1.4
    1.4 – 1.9
    2 – 2.5
    2.4 – 2.83

    ✅Explanation:
    The Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is a measure of how efficiently an animal converts feed into body mass. A lower FCR indicates better feed efficiency. Modern broiler chickens have been selectively bred for rapid growth and efficient feed conversion. In controlled environments like enclosed houses, where factors like temperature, feed availability, and disease exposure are managed, broilers achieve optimal FCRs. The typical range of 1.4 to 1.9 means that for every 1.4 to 1.9 kilograms of feed consumed, the broiler gains 1 kilogram of body weight.
