Formula
How the calculation works
The feed weight multiplies the number of birds by the grams each bird eats daily and by the number of days, then divides by a thousand to convert grams to kilograms.
Multiplying that feed weight by the price per kilogram gives the total feed cost for the whole batch.
For 1,000 birds at 110 g a day over 45 days the feed is 4,950 kg, and at 55 taka a kg the cost reaches 272,250 taka.
Common mistakes
- Using the adult feed rate for young chicks overestimates the bill, because daily intake rises gradually as the birds grow.
- Forgetting that feed is the largest input cost and ignoring waste in the feeders leaves the budget short of the real spending.
When to use it
- Use it to budget the feed bill for a batch of broilers before you buy the chicks.
- Use it to compare the feed cost of different flock sizes and growing periods when deciding how many birds to raise.
Worked example
1,000 birds eating 110 g a day for 45 days need 4,950 kg of feed, which at 55 taka a kg costs 272,250 taka.
Common questions
Why is the feed weight divided by 1000?
The daily intake is entered in grams, so dividing the total grams by a thousand converts the result into kilograms, which is the unit the feed price uses.
