Bibliographical database and meta-analyses applied to the nutrition of ruminants: improving tools and procedures

The project has two objectives: 1) improve the existing information system to make it easier to use and extend its information scope and 2) complete the formalisation of meta-analysis methods and ensure they are quick to implement.
