Body Weight and Linear Body Measurements of Three Nigerian Local Chicken Strains

The body weight and linear body measurements of the Nigerian local chicken strains were studied with a view to assess their relationship and contribution to the growth of the birds. A total of three hundred (300) local chicken strains comprising one hundred (100) frizzle feathered (FF), one hundred (100) naked neck (NN) and one hundred (100) normal ...

Predicting body weight with linear body measurements in beef calves

The objective of the study was to identify body dimensions that correspond to body weight and create a model to estimate calf body weight using linear body measurements, determine if geometric equations to estimate volumes improves model fit, and if early life linear body measurements can predict weaning weight.

CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS OF BODY WEIGHT AND LINEAR BODY MEASUREMENTS IN MARSHALL BROILER CHICKENS

Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment
Understanding the association between body weight (BWT) and linear body measurements (LBMs) is crucial for animal breeders, as it helps identify the optimal traits that can be prioritised to improve BWT through selective breeding programmes. This study was undertaken to investigate the relationships between BWT and LBM in Marshall broiler chickens.
