Efficient animals are those whose actual consumption is less than expected.\nAn EPD of 100 indicates that the actual consumption of the breeder's progeny will be equal to that expected based on their productive performance. Higher EPD values \u200b\u200bcorrespond to higher conversion efficiencies. More efficient bulls have higher EPDs and their progeny consume less than expected,\nTo facilitate the interpretation of the EPD in terms of levels of feed consumption, its calculation was made so that one unit of change in the EPD is equivalent to an intake of 10 kg of dry matter\/animal\/year. A player with an EPD of 103 is 3 units more efficient than one with an EPD of 100. That is,\nthat their progeny will consume an average of 30 kg (3 units x 10 kg\/unit) less than expected per year. It would represent a saving in feed of 30 kg per year. Taking an EPD of 100 as a reference, a player with an EPD of 98 is 2 units less efficient. If we transform it into food consumption,\ntheir progeny will consume 20 kg (2 units x 10 kg\/unit) more, due to lower feed conversion efficiency.<br \/><\/span><\/h5><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div
