Feed on the floor is money on the floor. Small pan errors add up across a flock. I track feed per bird to prove the fix.
I found feed per bird creeping and traced it to a pan set a half inch low. The floor told the story.
Waste shows on the floor and in the cost per bird.
Feed per bird trend reveals waste.
A half inch saved real money across the flock.

Paper and spreadsheets can store broiler feed wastage data, but they rarely show which house, flock, or expense is actually costing money.
