The relationship of heart-girth to liveweight of female goats in New Zealand.
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1987The correlations between heart-girths (measured as the smallest thoracic circumference) and liveweight were determined for 96 Saanen, 100 Angora and 101 feral female goats all of New Zealand origin. The correlation coefficients were 0.94, 0.94 and 0.90 for Saanens, Angoras and ferals respectively.

Estimates of the weights of dairy cattle by veterinary surgeons (n = 53), stock handlers (n = 42) and students (n = 77) were compared with heart girth measurements, which were used as a predictor of bodyweight. Visual live weight estimation was variable in accuracy.

Effects of stage of lactation, month, age, origin and heart girth on lameness in dairy cattle
Veterinary Record, 1985Lameness in herds during one year was commonest in the first month of lactation (15 per cent of all cases). Leg lesions were particularly common at this time (24 per cent of all cases of leg lesions) but white line abscess and sole ulcer were more common a month later.

Abstract Research on cattle, lambs and pigs suggests that when animals do not receive positive physical attention (“gentling”) from their stockpersons, they become fearful, stressed, less productive, and less healthy overall. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects that positive human handling has on heart girth (which is reflective

Two experiments were conducted simultaneously to predict liveweight of 36 ram and 48 ewe lambs of Nilotic sheep (from birth to onset of puberty) using body measurements. The lambs were grouped according to the dietary treatments of dura and molasses based diets fed to their dams.

Genetic aspects of condition score, heart girth and milk-yield traits in Italian Friesian cows
BSAP Occasional Publication, 1999AbstractFunctional traits related to costs are currently of interest for selection and management of dairy cattle. The present study was aimed to estimate heritability for body condition score (BCS) and heart girth (HG), to investigate the genetic relationships between BCS, HG and milk-yield traits using a test-day model and to analyse the consistency ...
