Math Formulas

Question 1

hatchability

Answer 1

hatched / total eggs = X / 100

Question 2

infertility

Answer 2

100 - hatchability

Question 3

feed conversion

Answer 3

# of chicks * live weight = X
lbs. of feed / X = feed conversion

Question 4

average carcass weight

Answer 4

% carcass yield / 100 = X / live weight

Question 5

breast meat weight

Answer 5

average carcass weight * % of breast meat = X

X * # of birds = breast meat (in lbs)

Question 6

daily manure output

Answer 6

# of birds / 100 = X
X * pounds of daily manure produced = daily manure output

Question 7

price per pound

Answer 7

avg lbs each * # of birds = X

auction price / X = price per pound

Question 8

breast meat yield (per carcass)

Answer 8

avg breast meat wt / avg carcass wt = X / 100

Question 9

feed conversion (per dozen eggs)

Answer 9

% production rate / 100 = X / # of birds
X * # of days = y
y / 12 = feed conversion per dozen eggs

Question 10

mortability

Answer 10

starting # of birds - finish # of birds = X

X / starting # of birds = X / 100

Question 11

hen-day production (per day)

Answer 11

total # of eggs/7= X

X / # of hens = %

Question 12

hatchability of settable eggs

Answer 12

total # of eggs - unsettable = X
X - infertile = y
# of chicks hatched / y = z / 100

Question 13

feed consumption

Answer 13

# of broilers * feed conversion = X
X * avg live wt = feed consumption in lbs

Question 14

total profit

Answer 14

avg carcass wt * profit margin = X

X * total birds sold = total profit
