Comparison of nonlinear models to describe the growth of crossbred taurine x zebu dairy cows in northeastern Brazil
The objectives of this study were to compare different mathematical functions [Brody (BD), Von Bertalanffy (VB), logistic (LG) and Gompertz (GP)], to identify the model that best describes growth, to estimate curve components (asymptotic weight: a; maturation rate: k), and to characterize the shape...
