This research sought to develop a mathematical model to predict the growth and feed intake of Boer goat kids destined for slaughter. Data were collected from castrated kids that were housed in individual pens and fed diets that varied in…
Grazing trials were established at two sites in the semi-arid savanna (Lowveld) of KwaZulu-Natal. The sites differed initially in rage composition. Llanwarne was dominated by Themeda triandra, Panicum maximum and P. coloratum and Dordrecht by Urochloa mosambicensis, Sporobolus nitens and…
Components for a simulation model are described to predict feed intake, amino acid requirements and body composition changes over time on the basis of the inherent potential protein growth rate of pigs varying in genotype. The potential protein growth rate…
Four simulations (RANGEPACK Herd-Econ) of a beef weaner enterprise, each subjected for a period of 30 years to a different rhythm of the long-term variation in rainfall and simulated dry matter production (PUTU 11) of veld at Glen, were compared.…
