Broiler chicks. The broiler industry is the process by which broiler chickens are reared and prepared for meat consumption. Worldwide, in 2005 production was 71,851,000 tonnes. From 1985 to 2005, the broiler industry grew by 158%. [1] A key measure of performance is the feed conversion ratio (FCR), the ability to convert feed into edible product.
One-day-old chicks arriving to be unpacked and placed in shed Young birds being reared in a closed broiler house. Artificial selection has led to a great increase in the speed with which broilers develop and reach slaughter-weight. The time required to reach 1.5 kg (3 lb 5 oz) live-weight decreased from 120 days to 30 days between 1925 and 2005.
In the U.S., the average feed conversion ratio (FCR) of a broiler was 1.91 kilograms of feed per kilograms of liveweight in 2011, an improvement from 4.70 in 1925. [18] Canada has a typical FCR of 1.72. [19] New Zealand commercial broiler farms have recorded the world's best broiler chicken FCR at 1.38. [20]

The 3.5 L engine was redone entirely of aluminum in 1999 as the EGG high output, producing 247–253 hp (184–189 kW) at 6500 rpm with 250 lb⋅ft (339 N⋅m) of torque at 4000 rpm. Output from 2002 to 2004 for the standard output EGJ is 234 hp (174 kW) at 6000 rpm with 241 lb⋅ft (327 N⋅m) of torque at 4400 rpm.
The farms produce 570 million tonnes of meat and 7.34 billion eggs annually. [3] Poultry feed is primarily made from imported soybean and soy meal. [ 4 ] The per capita consumption of meat and egg in Bangladesh remains below the level recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization . [ 5 ]
In the first week of a broiler's life, it can grow up to 300 percent of its body size. A nine-week-old broiler averages over 9 pounds (4 kg) in body weight. At nine weeks, a hen will average around 7 pounds (3.2 kg) and a rooster will weigh around 12 pounds (5.5 kg), having a nine-pound (4 kg) average. Broilers are not raised in cages.
