How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the initial flock size placed at the start of the grow-out or laying cycle.
  2. Enter the current flock size (birds alive today) and days in production since placement.
  3. Review Cumulative Mortality Rate — industry benchmarks are under 4% for broilers and under 6% for layers.
  4. Check Livability percentage (100% minus mortality) to compare against your integrator's standards.
  5. 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.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Initial Flock Size = 25000, Current Flock Size = 24200, Days in Production = 28 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Cumulative Mortality
    Cumulative Mortality
    3.2 = 3.2%
  3. Calculate Livability
    Livability
    96.8 = 96.8%
  4. Calculate Total Losses
    Total Losses
    800 = 800
  5. Calculate Daily Mortality Rate
    Daily Mortality Rate
    0.114 = 0.114%
