The objective of this study was to propose and discuss a method to evaluate the efficiency of feed conversion into product from beef cattle based on regression techniques. The mathematical and statistical procedures were developed using a database composed of measurements of dry matter intake and average daily gain of 380 pure or crossbred zebu animals in 15 different experiments in the database from the BR-CORTE nutritional system. Two approaches were presented, based on linear and non-linear regression, with average […]
