Parametrization of the Davis Growth Model using data of crossbred Zebu cattle

Parametrization of the Davis Growth Model using data of crossbred Zebu cattle

ABSTRACT: The system of differential equations proposed by Oltjen et al. [1986, named Davis Growth Model (DGM)] to represent cattle growth has been parameterized with data from Bos taurus (British) and Bos indicus (Nellore) breeds. The DGM has been successfully used for simulation and decision suppo...
