Neco Model Questions Vol1 2024 Agricultural Science Question 48
Practice objective / multiple choice question 48 from the 2024 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer starts a broiler operation with 500 day‑old chicks. During an eight‑week rearing period the mortality rate is 12 %. At the end of the period the average live weight of each surviving bird is \(2.5\) kg. The farmer wishes to achieve a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.9. Assuming that the birds which die receive feed proportionally to the time they lived, and that on average they lived half the rearing period, calculate the total amount of feed (in kilograms) that must be purchased for the whole flock.
