The accurate supply of energy is essential to optimize livestock productivity and profitability. Furthermore, replacing empty BW gain (EBG) with carcass gain (CG) might be a suitable alternative to estimate the retained energy (RE) of beef cattle. Thus, this multi-analysis study was conducted aiming to estimate and validate new equations to predict carcass weight (CW), EBG, and RE of Zebu, beef crossbred, and dairy crossbred. A database composed by 1112 animals encompassing bulls, steers, heifers of different genetic groups (Zebu, beef crossbred, and dairy crossbred), and two types of slaughter plants (commercial and experimental) was used for generating the new CW equation. For the development of the EBG and RE equations, a database of 636 observations composed of bulls, steers, and heifers of different genetic groups (Zebu, beef crossbred, and dairy crossbred) was assembled. The validation of new equations was performed using independent databases composed by 137 observations (80 for CW and 57 for EBG and RE). The new approaches for EBG and RE validation also included data from our research group studies (Inside) and independent data from literature publications (Outside). Furthermore, the new RE equation was compared to the current model devised by the nutritional requirements, diet formulation, and performance prediction of Zebu and crossbred cattle (BR-CORTE, 2016). Validation analyses were performed by using the Model Evaluation System (MES; 3.1.13, College Station, US). The CW was accurately estimated by the new equation when using both commercial and experimental data. Also, the equations developed in this study accurately estimated EBG and RE using both inside and outside data. In conclusion, equations proposed in this study accurately and precisely estimated CW, EBG, and RE of Zebu beef cattle that composed validation data set. Therefore, we suggest the following equations to estimate CW, EBG, and RE of Zebu cattle: CW, kg = -11.0±1.56 + P + ((0.609±0.005 + G + B) × SBW); EBG (kg) = 0.044±0.017 + 1.47±0.026 × CG; RE (MJ/d) = 4.184 × (0.082±0.002 × EQEBW0.75 × CG0.777±0.039), where P = slaughter plant effect, if commercial = -10.98, if experimental =0; G = gender effect, if steer = 0, if bull = 0.008169 and if heifer = -0.00612; B = genotype effect, if Zebu = 0, if dairy crossbreds = -0.03301 and if beef crossbreds = -0.01595; SBW = shrunk BW; CG = carcass gain; EQEBW = equivalent empty BW.
