If there is no apparent health issue or water issue that would cause the feed conversion problem, the conversation turns to bird and poultry house environment management.

I receive a lot of calls and e-mails regarding issues with feed conversion and weight gain in broilers. The conversation starts off with several questions such as how long the birds are in the house, how long the farm has been experiencing the problem and if the issue affects every flock throughout the year or is it a seasonal issue. Typically, the answer to the latter question is every flock regardless of the season.
