Adjustment of growth models in broiler chickens

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to investigate adjustments of the Gompertz, Logistic, von Bertalanffy, and Richards growth models, in male and female chickens of the Cobb 500, Ross 308, and Hubbard Flex lines. Initially, 1,800 chickens were randomly housed in 36 pens, with six replicates per lineage and sex, fed ad libitum with feed according to gender, and bred until 56 days of age. Average weekly body weight for each line and sex was used to estimate model parameters using the ordinary least squares, weighte… Show more

“…The growth parameters of the two breeds were compared with patterns of other breeds or hybrid lines that were analyzed using the model G1 or a derived version [ 27 ] (Equations (11) and (13)) ( Table 4 ) [ 22 , 23 , 25 , 46 ]. In other investigations, the model directly provided Tip [ 27 ] (Equation (1)) ( Table S3 ) [ 19 , 20 , 47 , 48 , 49 ].…”

“…In literature, different periods of age for weight measurements have been proposed to provide a reliable estimate of the parameters of a growth model, and they vary according to growth rate and management conditions of individual breeds and hybrid lines. The final age of observation is reported to be: 56–112 d for Ross broilers and Ross hybrids [ 19 , 25 , 46 ], 180 d for the Padovana Camosciata [ 22 ], 196 d for the junglefowl [ 49 ], and 240 d for Portuguese autochthonous breeds [ 48 ]. The present investigation includes 17 biweekly weighing per chicken (from w 0 to w 32) to perform the growth pattern analysis beyond the usual slaughter age, which is usually settled at 180 d for these slow-growing birds.…”

“…A precocidade de codornas (Demuner et al, 2017;Grieser et al, 2015;Grieser et al, 2018) se comparado a galinhas (Neme et al, 2006) e frangos de corte (Marcato et al, 2010), a taxa de passagem dos alimentos pelo trato gastrointestinal (TGI), maior em codornas, e maior peso relativo do TGI (Resende et al, 2008), são indícios suficientes e que nos remetem a necessidade de trabalhar com valores de composição dos ingredientes e exigências nutricionais para cada espécie especifica, não devendo usar dados de frangos, galinhas e ou matrizes pesadas para dietas de codornas, sejam destinadas a produção de ovos ou carne.…”

“…While in our study, the four-parameter logistic model and von Bertalanffy, both with random effects, were better adjusted than Gompertz to describe the growth pattern of broiler chickens. Demuner et al (2017) compared the Gompertz, threeparameter logistic, von Bertalanffy, and Richards models to model broiler chickens data. The authors report that the Richards and Gompertz models obtained the best adjustments.…”

“…The point of inflection of this type of model is precisely the point at which the growth rate is maximum. It is common to use these models to describe the growth pattern of broiler chickens (see TZENG;BECKER, 1981;ROUSH et al, 2006;MARCATO et al, 2008;DEMUNER et al, 2017). However, it is not common to include random effects in these models.…”
