Re-Evaluating Neonatal-Age Models for Ungulates: Does Model Choice Affect Survival Estimates?

New-hoof growth is regarded as the most reliable metric for predicting age of newborn ungulates, but variation in estimated age among hoof-growth equations that have been developed may affect estimates of survival in staggered-entry models. We used known-age newborns to evaluate variation in age est...
