European Broiler Index (EBI)
Assess broiler performance factor incorporating livability, average daily gain, and FCR.
Enter Parameters
Reference Details
Formula Used
- EBI: European Broiler Index
- ADG: Average daily growth weight gain in grams
- FCR: Feed Conversion Ratio
(95% * 55g) / (1.55 * 10) = 337 EBI.
1. Purpose
EBI is similar to EPEF but focuses directly on daily growth gains (ADG) rather than total harvest weight.
2. When to Use
Assess at batch completion.
3. Required Inputs
To get started, you will need the following inputs:
- Livability (%): Survival rate.
- Average Daily Gain (g): Mean daily weight accumulation.
- FCR: Feed Conversion Ratio.
4. Formula Used
The platform utilizes the following equation: $$\text{EBI = (Livability % * ADG g) / (FCR * 10)}$$
5. Worked Example
(95% * 55g) / (1.55 * 10) = 337 EBI.
6. Result Interpretation
Here are the performance thresholds: Excellent: >= 400. Good: 350 - 399. Needs Improvement: < 350.
7. Recommendations
Ensure proper husbandry standards:
- Review feed and water lines.
- Monitor temperature and ventilation parameters.
- Record daily metrics.
8. Common Mistakes
Watch out for these common errors:
- Using final weight instead of daily weight gain.
9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How is EBI different from EPEF? A: EBI uses Average Daily Gain (grams) directly in the numerator.
