Partitioning of limiting protein and energy in the growing pig: description of the problem, possible rules and their qualitative evaluation Fredrik B Sandberg   1 ,  Gerry C Emmans ,  Ilias Kyriazakis Affiliations Expand PMID: 15788114 DOI: 10.1079/bjn20041321 Abstract A core part of any animal growth model is how it predicts the partitioning of dietary protein and energy to protein and lipid retention for different genotypes at different degrees of maturity. Rules of partiti

A model for predicting feed intake of growing animals during exposure to pathogens F B Sandberg   1 ,  G C Emmans ,  I Kyriazakis Affiliations Expand PMID: 16699113 DOI: 10.2527/2006.8461552x Abstract A general model is proposed for predicting the effects of subclinical pathogen challenges of different doses and virulence on the relative feed intake (RFI) of animals. The RFI is defined as the feed intake (FI, kg/d) of the animal challenged by a pathogen divided by its FI in t
