Ruminant parameters grow PF (protein & fat)

CLEM.Resources.RuminantParametersGrowPF

Provides the breed parameters relating to Grow ruminants (Protein and Fat).

The latest ruminant growth activity updates the equations used in the original Grow ruminants activity to the latest Australian equations and brings a number of improvements including better tracking of fat and protein content. This component requires even more breed parameters than the first growth model which is still available.

In order to ensure the optimal access to these parameters as the model is further developed they have been divided into categories. These categories are the same as those used by Freer et al., (2012) provided with the growth and energy equations. These categories are also included in the parameter names to assist in linking CLEM parameters with the technical reports defining all the equations used. The property names will have an underscore, 'C', and group code for Death (D), Growth (G), Efficiency and Lactation (KL), Maintenance (M), Pregnancy (P), and Digestibility and Ruman Digestibility (ARD). Some of these identifiers have also been added to the older Grow parameters especially in the parameter spaces shared across activities.

This component current acts as a holder for all the sub-parameter group components that relate to Grow ruminants (Protein and Fat).

This component is placed as a child of the Ruminant parameters holder for each Ruminant type and holds the parameters needed for growth and breeding.

The following breed parameters groups are required as children of this component.

All breed parameters associated with calculating digestibility and rumen degradability.

See Ruminant digestibility and rumen degradability parameters Grow PF (CACRD)

All breed parameters associated with calculating mortality.

See Ruminant death parameters Grow PF (CD)

Most of these parameters are currently not used in CLEM as an improved means of managing mortality is now provided.

All breed parameters associated with calculating intake.

All breed parameters associated with calculating efficiency and lactation.

All breed parameters associated with calculating metabolism.
