You have to design an experiment to study the effect of feeding two types of grain supplement on the weight gain of feedlot cattle. You have 200 healthy cattle (100 of each sex, all of the same age and breed) and 4 pens that each hold 50 cattle. It is claimed that grain supplement A can improve weight gain compared to grain supplement B if they are included in the diets at isoenergetic and isonitrogenous levels (ie. equal energy and protein).
Can you suggest a possible hypothesis?
What is/are the dependent variable(s)?
What is/are the independent variable(s)?
What are the confounding factors?
Indicate how you would assign the pigs to the treatments.
Are their any flaws in your design?
i hope you answer all the questions because this is the last remaining post question for me
