Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the ratio of inputs to outputs; it is the inverse of "feed efficiency" which is the ratio of outputs to inputs. [ 2] FCR is widely used in hog and poultry production, while FE is used more commonly with cattle. [ 2] Being a ratio the FCR is dimensionless, that is, it is not affected by the units of measurement ...
