Using heart girth to determine weight in finishing pigs [PDF]
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2002 Heart girth and body weight were measured on 100 growing-finishing pigs (50 to 273 lb) at the KSU Swine Teaching and Research Center. Heart girth, in inches, was measured using a cloth measuring tape.

Comparison of heart girth or flank-to-flank measurements for predicting sow weight [PDF]
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2004 In previous Swine Day Reports we have demonstrated that feeding sows in gestation on the basis of body weight and backfat thickness is more precise and economical than methods of feeding based on visual observation of body-condition score.

Test-day genetic analysis of condition score and heart girth in Holstein Friesian cows.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2001 This study aimed to estimate heritability for condition score and heart girth using a test-day model, to investigate the genetic relationships between condition score, heart girth, and milk yield traits and to analyze the genetic relationships of condition score and heart girth measured at different stages of lactation.

A live weight–heart girth relationship for accurate dosing of east African shorthorn zebu cattle [PDF]
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2012 The accurate estimation of livestock weights is important for many aspects of livestock management including nutrition, production and appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals. Subtherapeutic dosing has been shown to accelerate pathogen resistance which can

Development and evaluation of equations to predict body weight of Pelibuey ewes using heart girth
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2019 The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate equations to predict body weight (BW) using heart girth (HG) in Pelibuey ewes. For model develop a data set composed by 366, 3-year-old, non-pregnant and non-lactating ewes; with a mean BW of 45.7±9.16 kg

Journal of Agriculture, Forestry and the Social Sciences, 2015 This study examines the use of morphological parameters to predict live weight of male working donkeys in three locations of northwest Nigeria. The study employed the use of measuring tape to measure some morphological parameters from 127 male working donkeys selected at random from three locations namely: Giwa (Kaduna state), Kofar Dan ‘agundi (Kano ...

Prediction of body live weight from body length and heart girth of rabbit [PDF]
, 2018 Linear body measurements of forty – eight (48) domestic rabbits in terms of body length (BDL) and heart girth (HG) were taken along with body weight (BW) and correlated with one another. The body measurements were evaluated as predictor of body weight. The two parameters measured were strongly and positively correlated with one another.
