Mortality and offtake rates, as other rates that will be described in Chap. 4, can represent two distinct parameters: a probability (say p) or a hazard rate (say h). Although definitions for p and h are often presented as preliminaries in statistical books [42–44], this is less common in tropical livestock literature, except in few specialized ...
