The feed cost per egg is the single number that tells you whether your layer enterprise can survive a price drop. This tool calculates feed cost per egg, per tray and the margin left at your selling price.
How to use it

- 2 Enter the daily ration and feed price.
- 3 Enter the price you receive per egg.
The numbers are estimates, not a promise. Use your own farm records where you have them.
Questions
What is a good feed cost per egg?
It depends on feed price and lay rate. When feed is KES 55 per kg and lay is 85%, roughly KES 7 to KES 8 per egg is normal. Above KES 9 starts to squeeze margin hard.
How can I lower feed cost per egg?
Raise the lay rate, reduce waste, keep birds healthy and review the ration. A 5% lay improvement usually beats renegotiating feed by a similar percentage.
Does this include other costs?
No, it isolates feed. Use the egg profit calculator for a full margin that includes labour, health and transport.
