Abstract
Numerous mathematical expressions for growth models have been developed, but each has its own characteristics and limitations. Therefore, this study has investigated whether artificial intelligence (AI) methods can be an alternative to these models. To this aim, four nonlinear (NL) models (logistic, Richards, Gompertz-Laird, and von Bertalanffy) and three AI techniques — artificial neural networks (ANN), integrated adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems with grid partitioning and subtractive clustering (ANFIS-GP and ANFIS-SC) — were used to analyze growth. Some statistical methods, including the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were used to evaluate the model performance. As a result of the study, it was determined that the ANFIS-SC model yielded a better fit with the broiler data due to its low MAE, RMSE, and MAPE values (7.68 g, 11.93 g, and 1.06%, respectively). The overall recommendation of this study is that the AI models could be used as an alternative to determine a broiler growth curve.
