Prediction of body weight from linear body measurement in two breeds of cattle
Open Access Research Journal of Biology and Pharmacy, 2021The study compared live weight and linear body measurements of two breeds of cattle (White Fulani and Muturu Cattle) and regressed linear body measurements on live weight. A total of eighty-six cattle of forty-three per a breed were reared at the cattle production unit of the Teaching and Research Farm, Akwa Ibom State University – Obio Akpa Campus ...

Estimates of genetic parameters for linear body measurements and prediction of body weight in goat
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2022AbstractThe objective of this study is to estimate genetic parameters for linear body measurements along with their correlation to live weight with a focus on devising a scale to predict live weights from body measurement. A total of 142,564 records on body measures and live weights were collected from 8701 Jamunapari goats.

Prediction of body weight from linear body measurements in Japanese quail
Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2020A total of 168 two-weeks-old Japanese quail chicks of mixed sex were used to study the relationship between Body weight and linear measurements in Japanese quail. Data were collected on body weight, body length, body girth, wing length, shank length and drumstick length fortnightly for eight weeks to predict body weight.

Estimating Body Weight of Cattle Using Linear Body Measurements
Zimbabwe Veterinary Journal, 2004The relationships between body weight (BW) and heart girth, body length and height at withers of 116 Indigenous, 72 Friesian, 95 Brahman, 88 Red Dane and 123 Crossbred cattle from 42 smallholder herds in Nharira-Lancashire, Zimbabwe, were investigated. The principal objective was to develop simple models that could be used to estimate BW.

Prediction of body weight from linear body measurements in sheep
Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2017Measurements of body conformation in sheep are of value in judging the quantitative characteristics of meat and also helpful in developing suitable selection criterion. Data on 349 Harnali sheep for body length (BL), body height (BH), heart girth (HG), paunch girth (PG), tail length (TL), head circumference (HC), ear length (EL), ear width (EW), face ...

Relationship of body weight with linear body measurement in Osmanabadi goats
Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2014The survey of Osmanabadi goats of different age groups was conducted in Hingoli and Nanded districts of Marathwada region in Maharashtra state. The aim of study was to see relationship of body weight with linear body measurement in different five age groups (0-3, 4-6, 7-12, 13-36 and above 36 months).

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2021
The aim of this study was to develop prediction equations for the body weight of Pelibuey ewes from body measurements comparing linear vs nonlinear models. A subsample of 197 ewes was scored for body weight (BW), rump length (RL), rump width (RW), height at withers (HW), chest girth (CG), chest width (CW), chest depth (CD), cannon bone perimeter (CP ...

Estimation and modeling of pig body weight using linear body measurements
2023Body weight is an essential index used by producers to determine market-ready pigs, and its accu-rate estimation before the finishing stage helps reduce losses in pig production. However, since most pig farms have limited or no access to weighing scales, this study aimed at modeling linear body measurements to estimate pig body weight.

Body and organ weights and linear measurements of the adult Mongolian gerbil
The Anatomical Record, 1964AbstractData were collected from a colony of 49 male and 55 female two‐year‐old Mongolian gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus (Milne‐Edwards, 1867). This report gives tables which present data regarding linear measurements of body and organs and absolute and relative organ‐weight data.

The growth of Ayrshire cattle: an analysis of linear body measurements
Animal Science, 1975SUMMARYThe growth of 12 linear body measurements in Ayrshire cattle was analysed by least-squares methods. Measurements were taken at 3-monthly intervals up to 48 mo of age. Adjustments were made for month and year of birth and for type of birth (twin-born animals comprised 40% of the data). The state of pregnancy or lactation in heifers was also taken
