Cobb 500 Broiler Yield: PDF Chart & Calculator (Easy To Use)

If you’re into broiler farming, a key calculation is the yield either of carcass or parts of each bird.

This effectively tells you the amount of marketable product available (by weight) after processing.

From this, you can quickly rack up financial projections.

• an automatic broiler yield calculator, made by me, converting the Cobb 500 percentages into ready-made absolute weights for your planning.
