Evaluation of nutrition models to estimate performance of young dairy calves: a meta-analytical study under tropical conditions

Mathematical models are important tools to estimate nutritional requirements and animal growth. Very few calf models generated from other countries with different feeding programs, environment and production systems have been evaluated. The objective of this paper is to evaluate two calf models: (i)...
