Finally, from a statistical point of view, the proposed equations
showed a high accuracy to predict the production profiles of S.
zooepidemicus. In all cases, the fitting of results was graphically
and statistically satisfactory. The mathematical equations were
consistent (Fisher’s F-test) and the parametric estimations were
significant (Student’s t-test). Furthermore, all the values foreseen
in the non-linear adjustments produced high coefficients of linear
correlation with the values really observed (r > 0.997
