Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Morphometric Traits to Estimate Live Body Weight of South African Bapedi SheepThabang Sako, Jones Ng’ambi, Thomas Raphulu et al.This study was carried out for the estimation of Body Weight (BW) of bapedi sheep from Body Length (BL), Sterna Height (SH), Heart Girth (HG), Height at Withers (WH), Rump Height (RH) and Head Length (HL). Correlation and regression were used. Correlation displayed that body weight is highly positively associated (p<0.01) with WH and HG in males while for females, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 26 Jun 2024 · 5,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGrowth Traits as Indicators of Body Weights in Dorper SheepMolabe Kagisho Madikadike, Vusi Mbazima, Busisiwe Gunya, Thobela Louis TyasiThe growth traits help rural farmers who lack weighing equipment to anticipate the body weights of their animals for a variety of reasons, including feeding, medication, and breeding purposes. The study aims to predict body weights from the growth traits of Doper sheep. Data on growth traits such as body length, heart girth, sternum height, withers height, rump height, and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrediction of Body Weight from Linear Body Measurement Traits of Boer Goats Raised at Farm Tivolie, Limpopo Province, South AfricaLebo Trudy Rashijane, Vusi G Mbazima, Thobela Louis TyasiA total of 72 Boer goats (females = 58 and males = 14) from the age of one to five years were used to determine the association between Body Weight (BW) and linear body measurement traits viz. Body Length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height (RH), Rump Width (RW), Ear Length (EL), Cannon Circumference (CC) and Heard Width (HW) and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2021 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrediction of Body Weight of Yearling Boer Goats from Morphometric Traits using Classification and Regression TreeMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Thobela Louis TyasiClassification and Regression Tree (CART) is a predictive algorithm method used to explains how the dependent variable can be predicted using independent variables (numerical and characters). The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body weight and morphometric traits (Body Length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height (RH), Rump Width (RW), Ear Length (EL), Cannon Circumference (CC) and Head … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 3 May 2021 · 8,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenotypic Characterisation of the Bapedi SheepKgothatso Masethe, Thinawanga Joseph Mugwabana, Tlou Caswell Chokoe et al.Bapedi sheep are at risk of extinction, which necessitates thorough documentation to inform and drive effective conservation efforts. We aimed to characterize Bapedi Sheep phenotypic characteristics using 231 Bapedi sheep (≥1 year of age) from Limpopo and Gauteng Provinces. The Bapedi Sheep were grazed on natural pasture and the data was collected during the autumn season. Qualitative and quantitative phenotypic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2025 · 5,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn-Farm Phenotypic Characterization of Sheep Breeds in BotswanaKaelo Pelotshweu, Monosi Andries Bolowe, Nicodemus Pungi Mosweu et al.Phenotypic characterization data serve as a baseline for the evaluation of the effectiveness of selection programs and the development of conservation strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to phenotypically characterize Tswana, Dorper, Damara, Meat-master, and Karakul sheep breeds in Botswana under a ranch management system. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected from 595 adult sheep (one year and above). Data on … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 1 Mar 2025 · 7,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines and Classification Regression Tree for Prediction of Body Weight of Bapedi SheepMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Ramaisela Barley Mthembu, Albino Joas Tsenane et al.The study aimed to compare the performance of multiple adaptive regression splines and classification regression trees for the prediction of the body weight of Bapedi sheep. A total of 100 Bapedi sheep aged between one and five years old of different sexes were employed. The study measured the following: Body Length (BL), Withers Height (WH), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2024 · 5,184 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DAIRY COW DURING EARLY GESTATION AND SUBSEQUENT GROWTH AND CARDIAC MEASUREMENTS OF HER OFFSPRINGJ. E. Larson, B. E. Voelz, D. K. Hardin, C. O. LemleyThe objective was to determine whether maternal nutritional status and milk production during early gestation influenced or were correlated with parameters of the calf at birth and at 1 month of age. From parturition until 90 days pregnant, blood samples were collected every 14 days in dairy cows and plasma was assayed for concentrations of glucose and β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHBA).
