Abstract:This article presents an application of three classical models to studies of ruminal degradation kinetics, namely Ørskov and McDonald’s model (1979); Van Milgen, Murphy and Berger’s model (1991), and Richard’s model proposed in France, Dijkstra, and Dhanoa (1996). Our approach is focused on accounting for animal e ects given that measurements are repeated in the same animal. The models were studied under the perspective of nonlinear mixed-e ects (NLME) models.
