Estimatation of Body Weight at Different Ages Using Linear and Some non Linear Regression Equations in a Duck Breed Reared in Hot and Humid Climate of Eastern India
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study pertains to estimation of body weight of Vigova Super M, broiler ducks using linear and some non linear (log, inverse, quadratic, cubic, power, S, compound, logistic, growth and exponential) regression equations. Breast angle was considered as a predictor for estimation of the body weight. The results indicate that quadratic regression equation provided the most accurate estimator. The coefficient of determination values being highest at seven weeks of age and thereafter the values decreased as redistribution of muscles occurred and the growth of the birds decreased.

Skin and leather characteristics of hair-type goats were studied in relation to their sex and age, using 100 randomly-selected skin from goats reared in east west Iran. Mean weights of skin and leather were 859.2±35.2 and 357.4±16.2 g, and the length and width of leather ranged from 60 to 121 and 41 to 87 cm, respectively. Age had a significant effect on the weight and area of skin and leather....

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body weight (BW) and heart girth (HG) in Sardi and Timahdite sheep in order to develop a prediction equation of BW from HG. The data used for this study included 476 records on BW and HG (227 in Sardi and 249 in Timahdite) collected on males and females of different ages in 33 private farms. The BW and the HG averaged 34.8 ± ...

ABSTRACT- Ninety six 2-week-old British United Turkeys (BUT) Big 6 were assigned to 2 groups (4 replicates of 12 birds each). One basal diet and another one in which 20% canola meal replaced the corn starch in the basal diet were prepared. At 9, 16 and 21 wk of age, four birds from each pen slaughtered for digesta collection. The last two-third segment of the intestine, between the Meckel’s div...
