Abstract:Nonlinear mixed models applied to broiler chickens performance data Due to the large market demand for chicken meat, there is great interest in research aimed at further improving the production efficiency of this product. In this context, the study of broiler performance assists in the process of optimizing meat production and facilitates the understanding of the needs of each growth phase until the poultry slaughtering age. Although it is common to use nonlinear models to describe the growth pattern of birds… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
