Abstract
A deterministic whole-body sheep metabolism model relies on biochemical knowledge on how pools absorb nutrients from feed intake and interact with each other. We review previous work in the area with a focus on one of the more comprehensive sheep models published. We identify some less transparent limitations to this model and suggest ways to overcome them. We demonstrate the use of dynamic optimization techniques, particularly optimal parameter selection formulations, to improve the model, guided by the ...
