Feed conversion ratio is the amount of feed it takes to grow one kilogram of fish. (USAID-HARVEST, 2011)
The lower the FCR, the higher the profit.
If the floating feed is used, FCR should not be greater 1.5.
If the farm-made feed which was made with rice bran, oil cake, dried fish powder, etc., is used, FCR should not be greater 2.5.
Thus, proper feeding management is important in fish farming.
Determine the daily amount of feed for one month based on desired feeding rate.
