Abstract

Meta-analysis is a statistical methodology that can quantitatively review the independent studies under the same theme. So far a set of rigorous operating process has been constructed and is widely applied in human medicine, ecology and sociology. In the classical animal nutrition field which is centered on growth performance evaluation, however, Meta-analysis is not yet extensively promoted due to factors like incomplete data information. This study briefly introduced the history and characteristics of Meta-analysis, and the operating process. Using recently published performance Meta-analyses, the study showcased the acquisition and estimation of within-group standard deviation and each operating step. This study is targeted on offering a brand-new research method for animal nutrition research and evaluation of feedstuff.
