Greetings, dear members of the Asia group
According to the recent discussions of the members about the conversion factor, it is correct to say the feed conversion factor;
The feed conversion factor is an important economic index in the livestock and poultry industry, and as its title indicates, it is related to the effect of feed on live weight production, and there is no other part in its formula. But the feed conversion factor is influenced by many factors such as drinking water quality, feed quality, hygiene and health, environmental temperature and humidity conditions, stress, disease and so on. is When the conversion factor is higher than the normal limit, the grower should check and take care of all the mentioned effective factors, so it is not meaningful and it is not correct, like water, oxygen, bacteria and so on. Let’s consider it in the calculation of the conversion factor! Because all these are effective factors in the feed conversion factor, not part of its calculations!
Regarding the numbers related to the feed conversion factor that we put in the channel and group, this information is the last reported information that can be cited, which is related to more than 15 years ago, but because a high intensity of selection was not done on the ostrich, this The numbers can still be cited. However, it cannot be hidden that the performance of ostriches in current conditions and with basic and industrial nutrition and breeding is higher than the old information. If the farmers from different parts of the country are willing to carry out a detailed and expert record keeping system, I am willing to spend time collecting and analyzing these records and publishing them in a reputable magazine at my own expense to create a breeding guide for all breeders. be But until the authentic and updated document is published, we cannot trust strange reports by people who publish fake information with specific goals. Also, individual cases and exceptions cannot be generalized to the entire industry. In Australia, a record of a 6-month-old ostrich is 110 kg, but this is not the reason why the ostrich flock should reach this weight. In economic calculations, the average performance of the entire flock is important, not a number. Selected chicken above the average weight of the flock.
