The data for feed consumption and weighing gain of four farm animals labelled P, Q, R and S are shown below.

P -50kg feed consumed and 20kg weight gained Q -90kg feed consumed and 30kg weight gained R -100kg feed consumed and 25kg weight gained S - 150kg feed consumed and 30kg weight gained.

Which of the following must efficient feed converter?

  • A P
  • B Q
  • C R
  • D S

The correct answer is A. P

FCR for P = 20/50=2/5=0.4

FCR for Q = 30/90=1/3=0.33

FCR for R = 25/100=1/4- 0.25

FCR for S = 30/150=1/5=0.2

Option A is correct because P has the highest FCR
