📊 Record Keeping
Effective record-keeping for tracking performance and making data-driven decisions.
📊 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
| KPI | Target | How to Calculate |
|---|---|---|
| Production Rate | 80–90% | (Eggs ÷ Hens) × 100 |
| Feed Conversion Ratio | 3.5–4.5:1 | Feed consumed ÷ Eggs produced |
| Mortality Rate | <5% per month | (Deaths ÷ Total birds) × 100 |
| Hatch Rate | 80–90% | (Chicks hatched ÷ Eggs set) × 100 |
