PREDICTION OF THE BODY WEIGHT OF ALGERIAN TAZEGZAWT SHEEP BREED FROM BODY MEASUREMENTS

This study was aimed  to determine the practicality of using linear body measurement traits to predict body weight of Tazegzawt sheep breed in the experimental station of INRAA in Bejaia. 38  female and 16 male aged over 2 years were used to investigate the relationships between live weight and body...

Description
Summary:This study was aimed  to determine the practicality of using linear body measurement traits to predict body weight of Tazegzawt sheep breed in the experimental station of INRAA in Bejaia. 38  female and 16 male aged over 2 years were used to investigate the relationships between live weight and body measurements such as scapular-ischial length, withers height, rump height, heart girth, chest depth, shoulder width, hip width, pelvis length and cannon perimeter. Pearson correlations showed a strong positive significant correlation (p
