In 2018 the FCR of broilers is about 1.5, or 1.5 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meat. [2] This compares very favorably with other sources of meat. It is estimated that broilers produce 6 kg of greenhouse gas per 1 kg of meat, as compared to 60 kg GHG /kg for beef cattle. [3] In the 1980s, it was typical to produce a 2 kilogram chicken in 70 days.
Factors influencing the price of meat include supply and demand, subsidies, [2] hidden costs, [3] taxes, quotas or non-material costs ("moral cost") of meat production.Non-material costs can be related to issues such as animal welfare (e.g. treatment of animals, over-breeding).
[36] [37] When looking at meat only, ruminants consume an average of 2.8 kg of human edible feed per kg of meat produced, while monogastrics need 3.2 kg. [36] [37] Finally, when accounting for the protein content of the feed, ruminant need an average of 0.6 kg of edible plant protein to produce 1 kg of animal protein while monogastric need 2 kg.

A meat thermometer or cooking thermometer is a thermometer used to measure the internal temperature of meat, especially roasts and steaks, and other cooked foods. The degree of "doneness" of meat or bread correlates closely with the internal temperature, so that a thermometer reading indicates when it is cooked as desired.
