Abstract

Stock breeding has been one of the most important sources of food and labour throughout human history. Every advance in this field has always led to important and beneficial impacts on human society. These innovations have mainly taken place in machines or genetics, but data analysis has been somewhat ignored. Most of the published works in data analysis use linear models, and there are few works in the literature that use non-linear methods for data processing in stock breeding where these methods have proven to obtain better results and performance than linear, classical methods. This chapter demonstrates the use of non-linear methods by presenting two practical applications: milk yield production in goats, and analysis of farming production systems.
