Nutrient conversion efficiency for goat

A.
25 - 34%
B.
30 - 35%
C.
45 - 71%
Answer
D.
40 - 45%

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The nutrient conversion efficiency for goats is 45 - 71%.
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) or nutrient conversion rate is a ratio or rate measuring the efficiency with which the bodies of livestock convert animal feed into the desired output.
Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulphur and chlorides are a few of the macrominerals needed in a goat's diet. Microminerals usually supplemented in goat rations are iron, copper, cobalt, manganese, zinc, iodine, selenium, molybdenum, and others. Goats need plenty of high-quality forage for efficient growth between 1.5% and 2% of a goat's body weight.
