Linear and geometric regression equations were used to estimate liveweight of two hundred eighty six semi-intensively managed West African Dwarf (WAD) goats from Chest girth (CG) Wither height (WH) measurements. CG accounted for 52 58% variation in the using linear respectively, thus showing a curvilinear relationship. WH 31% both equations. measurement was found be more reliable estimating WAD...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dry period length (DPL) on survival rate, gender, growth performance, mortality Holstein calves. Data belonged 800 cows in different parities (2nd, 3rd and ≥4th) calves delivered by these cows. DPL were classified 5 categories (≤40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, ≥71 days). Calves weighed body dimensions (body length, wither height, hearth girth) at ...

Carcass quality of JamunaparixBlack Bengal (JBB), Black Bengal selected for growth (SBB) and random-bred (RBB) wethers of 1 year of age was studied. There was no significant difference between JBB and SBB in pre-slaughter traits and carcass characteristics, except height at wither and dressing percentage which were significantly higher in JBB than in SBB, and muscle fiber diameter which was sig...

In semi-arid regions, trees often wither during the dry season. Withering is sometimes manifest as die-back, whereby whithering results in shoot death, which progresses downward from the uppermost part of the crown. In this study, we measured the relationships between height growth and diameter at breast height, die-back frequency and severity, vessel size and specific hydraulic conductivity of...

The present study was undertaken measuring a total of 78 animals of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) of different ages and sexes maintained under a USDA funded RCC project at Bangladesh agricultural University (BAU) Dairy Farm, Mymensingh. The experiment was conducted to estimate different body measurements of RCC at different age groups. A total of 12 different age groups at 6 months interval were ...

Phenotypic characterization and body biometric in 13 traits (height at withers, body length, chest girth, paunch girth, ear length, tail length, length of tail up to switch, face length, face width, horn length, circumference of horn at base, distances between pin bone and hip bone) were recorded in 233 adult Gojri buffaloes from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh states of India. Traits were analysed...
