Abstract

Models are the representation of reality. Mathematical models have been used in the research fields of nutrition, metabolism and biomedicine for a long time. Mathematical modelings in animal as an effective research tool have been used not only to sum up past achievement and integrate present theory, but also to show where gaps in knowledge exist and what further research should focus on. Based on the connotation of mathematical models, this review introduces the categories of mathematical models in animal and the hierarchy of animal system, summarizes major relevant models in metabolic regulation over the past three decades according to explanation the theory of self-regulation in animal nutrient metabolism, especially in the advances on the regulation models related in hormones. The challenges and the development trend of modeling research in animal nutrition are also analyzed. The application of mathematical models in metabolic regulation of animal nutrition bears substantial significance for the dynamical prediction of animal nutrient requirements and drawing metabolic pathways of nutrients in animals.

Key words： mathematical model; modeling; ruminant; nutrition; metabolic regulation
