Comparison of Some Nonlinear Functions for Describing Broiler Growth Curves of Cobb500 Strain
This study was conducted to compare some nonlinear functions to describe the broiler growth curve of the Cobb500 strain. A flock of fifty one-day-old chicks were randomly selected from a henhouse of 2500 chicks. Our goal was to establish a growth curve using weighting data using mathematical solutions of time-dependent differential functions. In total, six equations were subjected to a statisti...
متن کاملComparison of Growth of Male and Female Kids of Nondescript Goats in a Semi Arid Region of Nigeria
This study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. Fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of Maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, Nigeria and the live weights were modeled. Biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the Logistic,...
متن کاملمقایسه مدلهای مختلف جهت تعیین زمان تا 50 درصد حداکثر جوانه زنی: مطالعه موردی روی بذرهای پنبه (Gossypium hirsutum)
Extended abstract Introduction: Germination speed is one of the most important germination indices, which is used in the most studies to compare the effects of different treatments on germination of seeds. Researchers use the reverse time to 50% maximum germination (1/D50) to calculate the germination rate. One of the methods for calculating the D50 is the use of nonlinear regression models s...
متن کاملEvaluation of Non- linear Growth Curves Models for Native Slow-growing Khazak Chickens
Native poultry is a valuable genetic source with high resistance against diseases providing an important subject for breeding programs. The non-linear mathematical modeling of the growth pattern may partly explain the relationship between requirements and body weight to precise feeding that plays a vital role in the animal enterprises. A study was conducted to compare five non-linear models inc...
متن کاملHow do plant ecologists use matrix population models?
Matrix projection models are among the most widely used tools in plant ecology. However, the way in which plant ecologists use and interpret these models differs from the way in which they are presented in the broader academic literature. In contrast to calls from earlier reviews, most studies of plant populations are based on < 5 matrices and present simple metrics such as deterministic popula...
