Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic responses to selection in growth performance of Ross 308 broiler breeders were evaluated using longitudinal body weight records from hatch to 64 weeks across four successive generations (G1-G4). The effects of generation, sex, and their interaction on body weight were examined, and sex-specific growth trajectories were modelled using eight nonlinear growth functions (Gompertz, Richards, Logistic,...
