Improving Feed Conversion Efficiency
AimEstablish value of Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCE) and the
Nutritional means to improve FCE.
Includes aspects of Metabolic Regulation of Nutrient Use
IntroductionFCE has always been an important Criterion, but Feed Input cost
has evolved substantially upward. The volatile nature of Food Ingredients require that FCE be of highest priority.
In Practice, FCE must also be expressed more precisely than Gross Input over Product Output
Feed Conversion Efficiency
DefinitionClassical definition is Feed Intake : Gain ratio in North America. In
Europe and some Journals, FCE is inversely expressed.
Measure is related to Whole-body or Carcass gain in Pigs. In Poultry, some relate Feed Input to Breast Meat Output instead. It is not meaningful unless Diet Energy is constant and other Nutrients are adequate.
Precise Nutritional Terminology for FCE
Most useful FCE expression in Nutrition Practice is Mcal Energy : Gain because the Caloric value of the Diet that delivers best Financial response will vary. This is especially true now, since Feed Fats compete with Bio-Diesel manufacture.
Common to express FCE on Whole-body basis for Production Staff but Nutritionist needs more pertinent expression based on method of Payment:
Ex. Mcal ME : Kg Carcass GainMJoule DE : Kg Carcass
Energy Format is immaterial (e.g. Mcal, MJoule, DE, ME, NE).
Feed Cost has Evolved to a New Level for the Foresee-able Future (FCOG = (Cost/Lb Diet x FCE) )

Nutritional Manipulation of Input Cost FCE Calibration within Genetic Limits
Concept: FCE is primarily determined by Composition of Gain; the limit being set by Genetics. Nutritionists can modify FCE by 3 methods . . . however this calibration aims to capture only that portion of Genetic Potential that is needed to deliver a Financial Optimum.
Nutrition Calibration:
FAT displacement of CHO Energy (Energetically more efficient)
Lysine level and Ideal balance of other amino acids to Lysine
Facilitated Digestion (Grain particle size reduction)
Other Nutrients are important (e.g. VTM, Phos.) but insufficiency can harm the animal if too extreme.

FCE Targets must be Dynamic to Optimize Profit
Normal: The Norm has been to use FAT in Diets because FCE is improved enough to reduce Feed Cost of Gain. FAT tended to provide Energy at a Cost that was less than or equal to Corn.

FCE Manipulation thru Extraordinary Means
Metabolic Regulation of Nutrient Use.
3 Technologies have been Commercialized in Australia to permit Nutritionists to Regulate for increased rates of Protein deposition. They move us closer to FCE Biological Potential with differences between Genetic Lines maintained (Krick et al. 1992).
Ractopamine (PAYLEAN)
Somatotropin
Immunocastration (Intact Male-ness is extended) (Welfare method)
Their value is greatest when Feed Cost is High. Illustrate how far away we are from the Expressed Genetic Ceiling.
