Title: An integrated model of forage, meat and emission in a beef cattle production system
Abstract: The beef cattle production system is a complex system as it includes biological, economic and social factors which are also individually intricate in nature. In this approach a simplified relationship and interactions between various factors that control the system have been presumed to develop the integrated model of meat production, use and storage of forage, manure excretion and emission. Three major subsystems namely meat production, forage management and emissions were described separately and finally combined into a single system to simulate the system output. A dynamic Monte Carlo simulation software (GoldSim) has been used to simulate the system. Various management scenarios are considered to see the model performance and uncertainty.
