This is study aimed to compare growth performance, meat quality, and carcass yield of three broiler chicken strains: Cobb, Paraiso Pedrês and ISA Label. The experiment was analyzed according to a randomized design, with five replicates of 29 birds per treatment. Weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion were evaluated weekly. Adjustments performed according to Gompertz model to describe the birds growth were based on mean weight gain. The birds growth rate was obtained by the Gompertz derivative model. When […]
