Mixed — heat vs. gainCycle 2411 · Day 28 · Variance

FCR is beating target, but heat is writing off birds in 3 houses.

FCR has fallen 1.71 → 1.54, 0.04 under the 1.58 target — worth ₹5.35 on every kilo of live weight at the same feed rate. Mortality has climbed 0.9% → 3.0%, still inside the 3.5% tolerance and concentrated in the 3 houses above 32°C — House 14 has already breached it at 4.1%.

Root cause

Cycle 2411

Heat is the cycle's dominant loss.THI has been above 78 for four days. 3 of 16 houses are above 32°C, all four are on ventilation stage 4, and 268 of the cycle's 599 deaths are attributed to heat stress — 45%.

FCR improved anyway, and that is the ventilation.FCR fell 1.71 → 1.54 through the same window. Intake efficiency held because ventilation was raised before the second advisory day — House 07 is the counter-example: it ran 2.4°C above cohort at night and drifted to 1.61.

The stock risk is vaccine, not feed.Feed cover is 199–333% of reorder across the finished silos. IBD closed at 1,240 doses — 18% of reorder — and PO-4819 is two days overdue, which puts House 16's day-21 schedule at risk.

Profit cannot be attributed yet.The contract rate and the reported margin are inconsistent in the current dataset — ₹121/kg against ₹116/bird of feed implies ~52%, not the 14.2% reported. Until that is settled, this panel will not assert a profit driver it cannot evidence.
