Additional information about the trait :

Description :Feed conversion ratio is a measure of an animal's efficiency in converting feed mass into increased body mass or increased milk production.
Measurement :FCR is the mass of the food eaten divided by the body mass gain (or milk produced), all over a specified period of time
