Pearsons coefficient of correlation showed positive high and significant correlation between body weight and linear body measurements and also among the body measurementsa simple linear regression equation with a high coefficient of determination r² 0948 using heart girth to predict body weight of boer goats was also derived. Pdf data on bodyweight and linear body measurements lbms namely ear length el heart girth hg body length bl head to shoulder hs leg.
Pdf Estimation Of Inter Relationship Between Body Weight
Correlation of bodyweight and linear body measurement. This was done separately for the two sexes in cases of significant sex effect. Y i the second random variable of the ith lbm or body weight. Used to establish the strength of linear relationship and association between the different lbms together with the bodyweight using the model. The relationship of bodyweight and linear body measurements were estimated by pearson correlation. Simple linear regression analysis showed that body weights could be predicted. Results table 1 summarises the average measurements obtained for the four traits studied.
The correlation relationships between the linear body measurements and live weight of goats showed that length of animal la girth circumference gc and neck circumference nc had highly positive significant p001 influences on weight while heights at rump hr and abdominal circumference ac had significant p005 influences on weight of the animals. Genetic and phenotypic correlations. All the values obtained for linear body measurements were higher in the male than. X i the first random variable of the ith lbm or body weight. The phenotypic correlations of linear body measurements with adult body weight were quite varying in magnitude ranging from 003002 to 059008 table 1.
