Estimation of growth in intact grazing Holstein steers
2013
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias
animal growth does not follow a linear pattern. Accordingly, fitted non-linear models are used to analyze the relationship between growth rate and age. Objective: to assess the ability of several mathematical models (Gompertz, Brody, and von Bertalanffy) to describe growth and development patterns of grazing Holstein males (Bos taurus). Methods: twenty eight intact Holstein steers (average weight 203.8 ± 37.5 kg) were used in the study. The animals grazed on Kikuyu grass pastures (Pennisetum
