Abstract
Improvement of the interpretation of feedlot data is discussed. Five items discussed were: (1) bias of nutritional data in favor of highly fermented feeds because of errors in determining moisture content, (2) correction of live weights to equal dressing percentages, (3) covariance correction of final data to equal initial values, (4) within treatment comparisons of factors influencing gains and (5) regression correction of carcass data to equal carcass weights.
