| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 畜牧學系 === 82 === The purposes of this study were to investigate the mechanisms
of response of broilers to the dietary nutrient intake and to
build a computer simulation model of the broiler growth. This
model was developed on a Stochastic method. The numerous
related equations of published papers were compared. Through
the nutrition and physiology, the need to meet nutrient
requirements and utilization of broilers was studied and the
model to predict voluntary feed intake and maximum feed intake
used by broilers under various factors was built. This model
was written in Quick BASIC computer programming language.
Given feeding regime, diet composition, broiler type, housing
condition, slaughter weight or slaughter days, the model
predicts on a daily basis, feed intake, daily body weight gain,
feed conversion ratio, energy and protein requirements for
maintenance, energy cost for cold thermogenesis. The model
also predicts retention of body composition and carcass
sections. A finanical report is also produced. The model was
validated by comparing with published experiments. The model
could be act as a valuable reference for the further validation.
