Compute feed conversion ratio (FCR) from ADG and ADFI over the same body weight stage, flag pigs whose values rely on extrapolation, and summarise the traits.

calc_fcr(adg, adfi, min_coverage = adg$settings$min_coverage, verbose = 1)

Arguments

adg

Result of calc_adg().

adfi

Result of calc_adfi() computed from the same adg.

min_coverage

Minimum share of stage days with recorded feed intake for fcr_flag = "ok". Default: min_coverage of the QC settings (0.7).

verbose

0 (silent), 1 (summary, default) or 2 (details).

Value

An object of class ppt_fcr (a list):

  • per_pig: adg (g/d), adfi (g/d), fcr, gf, adg_type, coverage, stage_days, start_weight, end_weight, fcr_flag, fcr_note;

  • daily: the daily table of calc_adfi();

  • summary: numeric summary (n, min, max, median, mean, sd, cv) of the main traits, for all pigs, for pigs with fcr_flag = "ok" and, with a breed column, for each breed;

  • by_bin: one row per pig and body weight class of bin_width kg (days are put into classes by the growth curve): feed (feed_kg), gain (gain_kg, from the growth curve), segment fcr, weight_coverage_kg (span of recorded body weights in the class), low_coverage (inner class covered by less than min_bin_coverage_kg) and fcr_out (segment FCR outside bin_fcr_limits);

  • removed, settings.

Details

FCR = ADFI / ADG, with ADG the slope of the daily weights over the stage (observed, interpolated and curve-filled days, see calc_adg()) and ADFI the mean daily intake over the same days (recorded, corrected and imputed, see calc_adfi()).
