Mathematical Models to Describe Egg Production in Laying Hens (Review)

Abstrack: This  paper  is  purposed  to  review  the  mathematical  model  to  describe  the  egg  production curve  in  laying  hens.  The  curve  of  egg  production  is  normally similar  between  breeds  or strains,  it  increases  form  first  lay  to  reach  the  peak  at  a  certain  age,  and  then  decreases gradually  to  the  end  of  the  laying  period.  Many  mathematical  models  to  describe  the  egg production  have  been  published,  and  they  are  sufficient  to  predict  the  number  of  egg production a long the age, but for breeding application needs to develop the model for small group population. If the characteristics of sexual maturity are taken into account, the model from Yang is more favourable than other mathematical models.
