NEW APPROACH FOR USING HEART GIRTH FOR CALCULATING NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTS 1- For fattening Baladi male calves [PDF]
Twenty four male Baladi calves of 228 kg average live body weight (LBW) were divided into four groups. Animals were fed according to Shehata (1976) allowances (T1), animal heart girth (HG)x0.032 (T2), animal HGx0.034 (T3), and animal HGx0.036 (T4).

Body weight prediction of Brakmas and Bali cattle using body measurements [PDF]
In the rural areas facilities for farm animal weighing are often difficult to find and the construction of such facilities is relatively expensive. Therefore a study was conducted with the objective to estimate body weight of Brakmas and Bali cattle ...

ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN BODY WEIGHT PREDICTED FROM HEART GIRTH AND PRODUCTION.
Abstract Relationships among body weights predicted from heart girth measurements taken the first test day after calving, and age, 90-, and 305-day milk yields, and the corresponding fat percentages were assessed for 3,168 lactations of 1,593 Holstein cows in nine North Carolina Institutional herds.

Testicular Morphometric Measurements and Their Relationship with Heart Girth in Red Mbororo Bulls
Records of heart girth (HGT) and testicular morphometric measurements (testicular weight, tunica albuginea weight, caput weight, corpus weight, cauda weight, epididymal weight and ductus deferens weight) (TMM) were obtained in dry and wet seasons from twenty (20) matured Red M “Bororo” bulls to determine the relationship between HGT and TMM and, to ...

Predicting body weight of Tanzania shorthorn zebu cattle using heart girth measurements [PDF]
Impact of research findings on Tanzania shorthorn zebu (TSHZ) cattle under agro- pastoral system in Tanzania have been lessened due to difficulties in relating visual appearance of animals with their live body weights. Managerial decisions have therefore

The Estimation of the Weight of Bulls from Heart Girth Measurements
Summary A study was made of the relationship between heart girth measurement and the body weight of 25 Holstein and 25 Guernsey bulls ranging in weight from 852 to 2351 pounds. The coefficients of correlation between heart girth measurement and body weight were 0.976 for all of the 50 bulls, 0.954 for the Holstein bulls, and 0.958 for the Guernsey ...

Foot Shape in Women With and Without Hallux Valgus Determined Using 3-Dimensional Foot Scanning. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Hallux valgus (HV) is a prevalent forefoot deformity that alters foot shape and occurs more frequently in women and older adults. Few studies have investigated the influence of HV on three‐dimensional (3D) foot structure in age‐matched samples. Methods This cross‐sectional study utilised data from two separate studies conducted in

Organ Size and Metabolic Rate Co-Vary with Dimensions of the Obstetric Pelvis: The Metabolic Coordination of Childbirth Hypothesis. [PDF]
Among South Asian women, those with larger organ mass and energy expenditure, indicating greater capacity to promote fetal growth, had larger pelvic dimensions, partly explained by linear growth patterns. However, body fat correlated with energy expenditure but not pelvic dimensions, helping explain why high adiposity increases risk of obstructed ...
