Bioenergetic Criteria for Meat Animal Environmental Management

Entry ID: USDA0515

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The purpose of the "Bioenergetic Criteria for Meat Animal
Environmental Management" dataset is for providing information
on growing meat animals, evaluating dynamics of energetic
responses (e.g., thermoregulation, feed intake) in relation to
thermal thresholds for stress-reduced efficiency and
performance; assessing adaptive and compensatory capabilities
after exposure to thermal stress, including ...
