Prediction of grasscutters (Thryonomis swinderianus) body weight from linear body measurements

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2021
A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between linear body measurements (LBMs) and body weights of grasscutters at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of age. Simple linear correlation procedure was used to establish the strength of linear relationships and associations between the different linear body measurements with body weight.

Predicting the liveweight of sheep by using linear body measurements

Ghana Journal of Agricultural Science, 2000
The relationship between live body weight and some linear body measurements using data on sheep are explored. Predictive models for body weight were then fitted to the data. The optimum model for predicting live body weight of sheep involves the sex of the animal and its index of volume (estimated as the product of the square of the heart girth and the
