Efficiency of beef production systems: Description and preliminary evaluation of a model

A deterministic beef efficiency model (BEM) was developed for investigating production efficiency. Efficiency was defined, over the lifetime of the herd, as a ratio of total output (lean meat equivalent) from the herd to total input (feed equivalent in Mcal metabolizable energy, ME) to the herd, and...
