چکیده

The present study pertains to estimation of body weight of Vigova Super M, broiler ducks using linear and some non linear (log, inverse, quadratic, cubic, power, S, compound, logistic, growth and exponential) regression equations. Breast angle was considered as a predictor for estimation of the body weight. The results indicate that quadratic regression equation provided the most accurate estimator. The coefficient of determination values being highest at seven weeks of age and thereafter the values decreased as redistribution of muscles occurred and the growth of the birds decreased.
