As of 2011 in the US, broiler chickens has an FCR of 1.6 based on body weight gain, and mature in 39 days. [25] At around the same time the FCR based on weight gain for broilers in Brazil was 1.8. [25] The global average in 2013 is around 2.0 for weight gain (live weight) and 2.8 for slaughtered meat (carcass weight). [26]
Dairy goats in their prime (generally around the third or fourth lactation cycle) average—2.7 to 3.6 kg (6 to 8 lb)—(or 2.8 to 3.8 L (3 to 4 U.S. qt))—of milk production daily—roughly during a ten-month lactation. Goats produce more after freshening and gradually drop production toward the end of their lactation.
Goats produce about 2% of the world's total annual milk supply. [62] Dairy goats produce an average of 540 to 1,180 kg (1,200 to 2,600 lb) of milk during an average 284-day lactation. [63] The milk can contain between around 3.5% and 5% butterfat according to breed. [64] Goat milk is processed into products including cheese [65] and Dulce de ...

The milk can be made into butter, cheese, soap, ice cream or any other dairy product normally made from cow's milk. They are often used for commercial dairy ...
The average lactation yield per day has been found to be slightly less than two kilograms. Jamnapari meat is said to be low in cholesterol. [8] During the winter they spend more than 90% of their time grazing, although this falls to around 55% in the hot Indian summer.
Sirohi/Ajmera goats are dual-purpose animals, being reared for both milk and meat. The animals are popular for their weight gain and lactation even under poor quality rearing conditions. The animals are resistant to major diseases and are easily adaptable to different climatic conditions specially in hot places .
Pygoras live for 12 to 14 years, and are commonly used for fiber, along with being show, breeding, and fiber-producing animals. The weight of a healthy Pygora depends on whether it is a male, female or kid. Most kids are about 5 pounds at birth; does range in weight from 65 to 75 pounds and bucks and wethers range from 75 to 95 pounds.
For example, some animal unit calculations used in Texas assume that daily forage dry matter consumption by a 90-pound nanny Spanish goat is 4.5 percent of body weight. Thus the nanny:cow ratio of daily dry matter consumption is estimated at 4.5:26, or about 0.16. This yields the estimate that such a nanny is equivalent to about 0.16 animal ...
