For those who don't know various feed conversion ratios offhand:
{Type of meat} - {FCR, Edible Weight} - {Conversion efficiency %, caloric} - {Conversion efficiency %, protein}
Beef - 36 - 2.9% - 2.5%
Pork - 6 - 9% - 9%
Chicken - 4.2 - 13% - 21%
(specifics vary according to method, but cross species comparisons remain similar)
