Study-level data and resource-recoverability analysis of nutritional restriction and compensatory growth in livestock

Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This repository contains study-level quantitative data and reproducible analysis code supporting the analysis of resource recoverability following nutritional restriction and compensatory growth in livestock. The package includes quantitative ADG data, effect-size calculations, growth-debt and recovery calculations, resource-saving estimates, nitrogen calculations, residual production/nutrient debt estimates, and reproducible R code. The repository extends the quantitative evidence base previously deposited for the related Nature Food analysis. The original dataset and analysis-code records are retained separately to preserve provenance. The present repository provides the additional analytical layer used in the Nature Sustainability manuscript. Derived quantities are distinguished from values reported directly by the primary studies. The repository does not contain unpublished individual-animal raw data from the original experiments. Resource-input reduction, feed efficiency, nitrogen-use efficiency and debt-repayment estimates are analytical quantities and should not be interpreted individually as proof of environmental sustainability.
