Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated different nonlinear mixed models for analyzing the growth curves of meat-type quails based on gender, using over 30,000 records of males and females.
- - Various nonlinear models (such as Brody, Gompertz, and others) were applied, with the Morgan-Mercer-Flodin model emerging as the best fit due to its accurate prediction of asymptotic weight when modeled as a random effect.
- - Findings suggest that male quails grow at a slower rate than females, indicating that they should be slaughtered later, which could enhance meat quality and improve genetic characteristics over time.
