dc.description.abstractData of 320 animals were obtained from eight comparative slaughter studies performed under tropical conditions and used to estimate the total efficiency of utilization of the metabolizable energy intake (MEI), which varied from 77 to 419 kcal kg–0.75d–1. The provided data also contained direct measures of the recovered energy (RE), which allowed calculating the heat production (HE) by difference. The RE was regressed on MEI and deviations from linearity were evaluated by using the F-test. The respective estimates of the fasting heat production and the intercept and the slope that composes the relationship between RE and MEI were 73 kcal kg–0.75d–1, 42 kcal kg–0.75d–1 and 0.37. Hence, the total efficiency was estimated by dividing the net energy for maintenance and growth by the metabolizable energy intake. The estimated total efficiency of the ME utilization and analogous estimates based on the beef cattle NRC model were employed in an additional study to evaluate their predictive powers in terms of the mean square deviations for both temperate and tropical conditions. The two approaches presented similar predictive powers but the proposed one had a 22% lower mean squared deviation even with its more simplified structure.en
dc.description.abstractForam utilizadas 320 informações obtidas a partir de 8 estudos de abate comparativo conduzidos em condições tropicais para se estimar a eficiência total de utilização da energia metabolizável consumida, a qual variou de 77 a 419kcal kg–0.75d–1. Os dados também continham informações sobre a energia retida (RE), o que permitiu o cálculo da produção de calor por diferença. As estimativas da produção de calor em jejum e dos coeficientes linear e angular da regressão entre RE e MEI foram respectivamente, 73 kcal kg–0.75d–1, 42 kcal kg–0.75d–1 e 0,37. Em seguida, a eficiência total foi estimada dividindo-se a energia líquida para mantença e produção pelo consumo de energia metabolizável. A eficiência total de utilização da MEI obtida e estimativas análogas baseadas no modelo do NRC gado de corte foram empregadas em um estudo adicional para avaliar as predições da energia líquida total para mantença e crescimento em condições de clima temperado e tropical. Os dois modelos apresentaram poder de predição semelhante, mas o quadrado do desvio médio do método proposto foi 22% menor, mesmo com uma estrutura mais simplificada.pt-BR
