简要介绍了动物科学和其他生物学领域中常用的几种简单生长函数，即指数型（突然截止）、单分子型、logistic型和Gompertz型。然后考虑两个嵌套的增长函数，Richards和一个采用广义Mitscherlich方程形式的新函数，它能够描述收益递减和s型增长模式。用奶牛、山羊、猪、狗和鹅的生长数据集来比较这两个函数。
Brief consideration is given to some simple growth functions commonly applied in animal science and other fields of biology, namely the exponential (with abrupt cut-off), monomolecular, logistic and Gompertz. Consideration is then given to two nested growth functions, the Richards and a new function which takes the form of a generalised Mitscherlich equation and is capable of describing both diminishing returns and sigmoidal patterns of growth. The two functions are compared using sets of growth data on cows, goats, pigs, dogs and geese.
