Modelling growth curve in Moghani sheep: comparison of non-linear mixed growth models and estimation of genetic relationship between growth curve parameters

In order to describe the growth curves in Iranian Moghani sheep, five non-linear mixed mathematical equations (Brody, Negative exponential, Logistic, Gompertz and von Bertalanffy) were compared. After selecting the best-fitted model based on purely statistical criteria, variance components and genet...
