How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the initial flock size placed at the start of the grow-out or laying cycle.
- Enter the current flock size (birds alive today) and days in production since placement.
- Review Cumulative Mortality Rate — industry benchmarks are under 4% for broilers and under 6% for layers.
- Check Livability percentage (100% minus mortality) to compare against your integrator's standards.
- Use Daily Mortality Rate and Projected Weekly Losses to detect early disease or management issues.
What each input means
- Initial Flock Size
- Total number of birds placed at the start of the flock cycle.
- Current Flock Size
- Number of birds currently alive in the house.
- Days in Production
- Number of days since flock placement.
