Machine sizing

Confirm the real daily loading pattern.

Mortality mass is not distributed evenly through a broiler cycle. Early mortality may involve more birds at very low body weights, while later mortality may involve fewer birds weighing 2–4 kg. A straight-line daily average is not suitable for machine selection.

This calculator provides an initial estimate only. Machine selection and loading frequency must be confirmed with MAOF using the operation’s actual mortality pattern and bird weights.
