Feed conversion and edible protein yield vary sharply by food source. Insects typically need the least feed per unit protein, followed by poultry among widely eaten meats.

Beef and other ruminant meats require far more feed inputs per kilogram of protein, which is why efficiency charts often rank chicken next after insects.
