Improving a nonlinear Gompertz growth model using bird-specific random coefficients in two heritage chicken lines

Growth models describe body weight (BW) changes over time, allowing information from longitudinal measurements to be combined into a few parameters with biological interpretation. Nonlinear mixed models (NLMM) allow for the inclusion of random factors. Random factors can account for a relatively lar...
