Özet

The aim of this study is to analyze the growth curves of young Angora goats by using live weight data during period between birth and 12(th) months. To reach this aim Logistic and Gompertz models which are non-linear growth models were used. To estimate growth, the determination coefficients of Logistic and Gompertz growth models were found as R-2=0.957 and R-2=0.956, respectively. According to these coefficients it might be suggested that it could be suitable to use both growth models in order to define the changes in the live weights as to time in young Angora goats.
