  • Correlation of feed conversion with weight gain and chickens mortality = Povezanost konverzije krme s prirastom in smrtnostjo piščancev
    Bodakoš, D. ...
    Feed costs participate with over 50 % in a price per kilogram of fattened chicken. Each impact affecting increase, i.e. feed consumption decrease is very important regarding economic aspect. ... Mortality as one of the factors affecting feed conversion indicated varying largely in shifts of the same sector where as varying from 5.62 % (sector I) to 7.40 % (sector III) was at the whole farm in our investigation. Calculated coefficient of simple correlation proved that there is correlation between feed conversion and mortality percentage at the end of fattening period in all sectors and for the farm averagely. Each kilogram of fattened chickens live weight is more expensive bz higher feed amount. It makes every kilogram of fattened chickens more expensive by 0.048 kg at 5.61 % mortality whereas it increases 0.065 kg at 7.40 % mortality which causes higher feed consumption and economically moreexpensive fattening.
