Growth models and their application in pig nutrition
2000
Halas,V. | Babinszky,L.
The aim of the review paper was to give an overview on the modelling of growth in growing and fattening pigs and th results of the studies. In this paper the types of models and the principles of development are shown. Further aim of the review is to demonstrate the factors affecting the accuracy and the application of growth models. The authors concluded that the mathematical models have allowed safer, more predictable and more riskfree production and so the ecological meat productivity increased. It is possible to define the nutrient requirement of the animals, moreover to predict the level of animal production and performance at a further time. To improve the accuracy of the models is very important and that process might need wider knowledge of the biological systems. Another challenge is to develop a model for predicting the real quality and quantity of meat at slaughter time.
