A genetic investigation of various growth models to describe growth of lambs of two contrasting breeds.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2006

Lambe N R, Navajas E A, Simm G, Bünger L

Abstract excerpt

This study compared the use of various models to describe growth in lambs of 2 contrasting breeds from birth to slaughter. Live BW records (n = 7559) from 240 Texel and 231 Scottish Blackface (SBF) lambs weighed at 2-wk intervals were modeled. Biologically relevant variables were estimated for each lamb from modified versions of the logistic, Gompertz, Richards, and exponential models, and from linear regression....
