Feed cost is one of the important variable costs that plays a big role in determining the poultry cost. Variable costs rise and fall with the size of the output and the level of the operation. Fixed costs (for items such as taxes, insurance, interest, and depreciation on buildings and equipment), are incurred whether or not there is any output.

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. The nature of the organisms—the species, functional groups and trophic levels to which they belong—dictates the sorts of actions these individuals are capable of carrying out, and the relative efficiency with which they do so.

Ossification is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation. As per scientific evidence, by the age of 25 years nearly all bones are completely ossified in humans. Ossification test is a guess work based on the fusion of joints in the human body b/w birth and age 25. If all joints are fused the person must be of 25yrs of age or older.
