The flocks section consists of a directory structure that holds all the flocks that have been defined with further functions available upon right-clicking.
A flock must contain at least one of each of the pre-defined item types – breed, environment, etc – under inputs and may contain more that one treatment.
One of the powerful features of the EFG Broiler simulation model is to set up, and run, more than one simulation at a time to compared different scenarios.
An experiment – defined as a flock – must contain at least one item of each type such as breed, economics, et cetera, in order to reveal the “Solve” menu.
Once a breed, economics or management item has been added to a flock in the Broiler Model, it is possible to set multiple values for each of their variables.
