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.
