This study was aimed to obtain the growth curve of body weight in male layer chickens (Lohman MB 202) based on Logistic and Gompertz models. The frequently data from one day age adult were used for prediction. Total thousand birds private sector poultry farm Tasikmalaya Regency, Indonesia this as source. estimation calculated (L) (G) models using Curve Expert 1.4. computer program.The final (as...

The use of genomic selection for changing the growth curve shape of animals, acting simultaneously on the 3 parameters of a Gompertz growth curve, was studied using computer simulation. Results showed that genomic selection modified the growth curve. Responses to all selection criteria were accompanied with a correlated response in mature weight due to the high genetic correlations between matu...
