## How is it calculated?

- FCR = Feed given ÷ Biomass gain

- Extra cost = (Unit FCR − Best FCR) × Biomass gain × Feed price

## FCRSOFT does this for you automatically

You don’t need to do the calculations and checks on this page by hand every day. FCRSOFT derives them all automatically from the records entered in the field.

- FCR and biomass are updated per cage with every feeding and weighing record.

- FCR values above target are flagged in the panel.

- Economic and biological FCR reports are ready by batch and period.
