the relationship between live body weight, body length, girth circumference, animal hight, upper, middle as well as lower width of fat-tail, fat-tail length, fat-tail gap length, fat-tail depth and fat-tail circumference along with fat-tail weight were determined using records of 731 loribakhtiari sheep. principal component and least square analyses were applied to solve the collinearity instab...

Aseel and Kadaknath chickens are recognized for their hardiness adaptability to warm humid climates being used genetic improvement of different breeds which appropriate backyard poultry farming in India. In the present study, an attempt was made first time India assess relationship among morphological traits explain body conformation under using principal component analysis (PCA). Eleven viz., ...

Fourteen different morphological traits in 169 and 131 cattle of Oulmes-Zaer and Tidili, respectively were recorded and analyzed using a multivariate approach. The characters measured included heart girth, wither height, rump height, rump length, rump width, chest depth, body length, neck length, cannon circumference, ear length, ear width, head length, horn length and tail length. Breed signif...

A cross-sectional study of adolescent growth was undertaken among the Brahmin girls residing in rural and urban areas of Sagar districts, Madhya Pradesh to evaluate the urban-rural differences. Six anthropometric measurements, such as weight, stature, sitting height, head circumference, upper arm circumference and chest girth are taken into consideration. Though the urban girls show consistentl...

the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among body weight and fat-tail measurements with fat-tail weight by using multiple regression and principal component analysis. the eleven characters includes, body weight, fat-tail length, fat-tail circumference, width and diameters in 3 position of upper, middle and lower before the slaughter, and also fat-tail weight after the s...

Nilpotent and idempotent adjacency operator methods are applied to the study of random geometric graphs in a discretized, d-dimensional unit cube [0, 1]. Cycles are enumerated, sizes of maximal connected components are computed, and closed formulas are obtained for graph circumference and girth. Expected numbers of k-cycles, expected sizes of maximal components, and expected circumference and g...

Sheep and goat have a great role in the economy of the pastoral communities which have inhabited in the lowland parts Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Borana low land southern Ethiopia to predict the body weight of blackhead Somali (BHS) sheep using linear body measurements under farm condition. A total of 478 heads (301 female and 177 males) were measured for linear body measurements and b...

BACKGROUND: Animal breeds are often recognized through their specific characteristics, nevertheless, the breeds' anatomical and biochemical characteristics have not considered yet in many of the researches done on one-humped camels. There are some particular differences in camel breeds due to different climate conditions and rearing necessity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to com...

BACKGROUND A high waist-to-hip ratio is associated with unfavorable cardiovascular disease risk factors. This could be due to either a relatively large waist or a small hip girth. OBJECTIVE We sought to define the separate contributions of waist girth, hip girth, and body mass index (BMI) to measures of body composition, fat distribution, and cardiovascular disease risk factors. DESIGN Thre...
