The dynamics of body composition in yellow-feathered broilers
. The growth of male breast muscle and female thigh muscle were the most proportional to body protein deposition, as exponent was close to 1. In conclusion, the Gompertz model efficiently depicted body weight, components, and composition change. The Gompertz equation for body protein and fat can be applied to further model daily nutrient and energy requirements.
