AI Yield Forecasting Guide

The AI Yield Forecaster projects your harvest output based on current farm conditions and historical data.


Inputs that affect your forecast:

  • Total active bins and species mix
  • Current population estimates and mortality rates
  • Feed conversion ratio (FCR)
  • Environment health scores
  • Historical harvest data (improves accuracy over time)

  • Reading your forecast:

  • Projected Yield: Expected harvest in kg (live weight and processed)
  • Confidence Range: Low/mid/high estimates accounting for variability
  • Time to Harvest: Estimated days until optimal harvest window
  • Industry Comparison: How your projected output compares to published benchmarks

  • Improving forecast accuracy:

  • Keep population estimates up to date
  • Log environment readings consistently
  • Record all harvests with accurate weights
  • Maintain complete feed records for FCR calculations

  • Typical yields for Acheta domesticus:

  • 1.0-1.5 kg live weight per m² per 6-week cycle
  • 25-30% dry weight conversion
  • 60-65% protein content (dry basis)
