Live animal and carcass data were collected from market barrows and gilts (n = 119) to determine the accuracy and precision of using a single longitudinal scan, parallel to midline, in estimating body and carcass composition. Data from test pigs (n = 96) were used to develop prediction equations. Best results were obtained in predicting weight of boneless cuts (ham, loin, and shoulder), weight ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the share of cost factors affecting on final cost of broiler live weight per kilogram in tehran province. data were collected through questionnaires. farms were divided to three cost ranges: less than 35,000, between 35,000 to 40,000, and over 40000 rails based on production cost per kg of live weight. in this study, water and additives, staff, vaccines, tra...

Growth curves are often fit to serial live weight data typically every 14-21 days from 50 lbs. to 250 lbs. live weight. This serial data usually has underlying relationships or correlations amongst the serial live weight observations. Heavier pigs at birth and weaning usually have a competitive advantage and remain heavier than the remaining pigs of the group. Also, the variation amongst the pi...

a descriptive prospective study was undertaken to determine birth weight, length and head circumference of live births and to examine the effect of maternal age, parity and gestational age on birth sizes of the live births. a total of 459 term singleton maternal– neonate pairs were studied. the neonates had anthropometric measurements determined with in 24hours of life using standard methods. t...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of live weight of partridges on egg production and egg quality characteristics. A total of 144 Rock Partridges were divided into control, heavy, middle, and light BW groups at 32 wk of age. Live weights averaged 512.78 g for the control group, 576.18 g for the heavy group, 523.49 g for the middle group, and 473.83 g for the light group. Egg producti...
