Summary: The Davis Growth Model simulates protelO and fal growth a f lhe empty body a f beef caule. We have improved bolh model structurc and parameter estimates to reflecl trends in protein and fal accrction for today 's more productivc caule. lnitial DNA is now estimated by an equation which requires bolh body prolein and prcvious rales af protein accretion and energy intakc. Becausc lhe ncwcr DNA estimates differ from lhe original ones, othcr parameters in lhe model were re-estimated using lhe same data with which the model was originally parameterized. Later data has been used to reparametrize lhe model for a numbcr of differcnt studies. Protein accretion and maintcnancc energy pararneters have increased.
