Synopsis

Excerpt from Technology in Broiler Production

In the production of meat animals and poultry, successive inputs of feed yield diminishing gains in weight as the animal or bird matures. Therefore, high product-feed price ratios increase the most profitable marketing weight. Conversely, low price ratios decrease the most profitable weight. Insofar as the net return per individual animal or bird is concerned, this marginal principle is as applicable to broiler production as it is to beef cattle or hogs.
