Be sure to build extra capacity to allow for inefficiencies.
"Critter Count" and "Ranches" mode can be used to calculate based on a specified number of critters.
"Products" mode can be used to calculate the required number of ranched creatures to produce a specified non-food product.
"Meat", "Tough Meat", "Seafood", and "Raw Egg" can be used to calculated the required number of ranched critters to produce the relevant food product.
A Grooming Uptime of over 97% is very unlikely even when the dupes have nothing else to do.
Scale and molt growth is assumed to have 100% uptime. This will never happen in reality so build extra capacity.
