The ECI is a rough scale of how much of the food ingested is converted into growth in the animal's mass. It can be used to compare the growth efficiency as measured by the weight gain of different animals from consuming a given quantity of food relative to its size. The ECI effectively represents efficiencies of both digestion and metabolic efficiency, or how well diges
