Food Consumption in Broiler Feed

Broiler Feed time to a fixed weight has been falling at one day every year.

Most of the world markets focus on a two kilogram live broiler yielding a 1.5 kg dressed 

chicken. A 2 kg bird, which was reared in 42 days in 2010, is ready for the market in 37 

days or less in 2015. With a 35 day growing cycle, broiler production has become a very 

attractive enterprise in many countries.

(Take Ross 308 for example)

A-1, Before10 days, food intake increase by 4grams per day,

For example: 7days broiler will take 7*4grams=28grams

A-2, 11 days—20 days. The food intake: [(Day-2)/10]*50grams

For example: 15 days chicken will take: [(15-2)/10]*50=65grams

A-3, 21days—30 days, the food intake: [(Day-1)/10]*50grams

For example: 26 days chicken will take: [(26-1)/10]*50=125grams

A-4, 30days-40 days, the food intake: (Day/10)*50grams

 For example: 35 days chicken will take:35/10*50=175grams

A-5,  After 40 days, the food intake is stable, about 200grams per day,

So according to the above calcualtion, each chicken will intake 4.5kgs,

and body weight will reach 2.5kgs per bird. So in China, the Broilers

will be sold out before 40 days.
