Use of analysis of variance in veterinary medicine

Abstract

The main purpose of the final project is to show how to conduct one veterinary experiment. It can be divided into three phrases: planning, implementation, analysis. These three phrases should be complementary from the beginning to the end of the veterinary experiment. During the planning is important to set goals that will be pursued and the instruments that will be used. During the implementation of the experiment the most important thing is the selection of the units and the methods that are used. After passing these two phrases comes the last phrase analysis of the data. This stage includes various statistical procedures, analysis and methods so we can make a conclusion and summaries, and describe the characteristics. The main problem in this final project is to study the effect of two medicaments on a particular population and to compare the effects they produce on treated experimental units. In the final project we will keep the requirements listed in “Guideline on Statistical Principles for veterinary clinical trials”. We will use the software package Statistica to make the conclusions in the end of the final project.
