Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePrincipal Component Analysis of the Female Pengging Soloan Duck Based on Morphometric TraitsRini Nur Hayati, Subiharta, Yudi Adinata et al.The Pengging Soloan duck is an emerging indigenous genetic resource from Central Java, Indonesia, recognized for its adaptability and egg-laying potential. However, its phenotypic characterization remains limited compared with established Indonesian duck breeds such as Mojosari, Tegal, and Magelang ducks. This study aimed to characterize 70 adult female Pengging Soloan ducks aged 5 6.5 months using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2026 · 940 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePrediction 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleUsing 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMorphometric Differentiation of Indigenous Tswana Goat Populations in Botswana Using Canonical Discriminant AnalysisDitiro MaletsanakeIndigenous goats are renowned for their endurance and capacity to withstand extreme climatic conditions. To categorize indigenous animal genetic resources, morphometric measurements have been employed to analyze the properties of numerous farm animal populations and breeds. The purpose of this research was to use canonical discriminant analysis to categorize the diverse Tswana goat populations in Botswana based on their morphometric … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2023 · 6,094 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInheritance of Leaf Characters in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.)Alfredo Morales, Dania RodríguezThis study aimed to establish foundational knowledge regarding the inheritance patterns of two foliar traits (leaf morphology and midrib pigmentation) in Ipomoea batatas. To overcome the challenges associated with discretely classifying color and shape frequencies, five morphometric descriptors were employed. Two of these parameters addressed leaf shape (Circularity and Aspect Ratio), while three characterized the color of the central vein … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,409 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomorphological Indicators of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Fry: Comparative Analysis in the Conditions of the Lower Kolsay and Fish FarmsBarakov Rinat Tairovich, Abilov Berdibek Ibragimovich, Assylbekova Saule Zhangirovna et al.Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) is one of the key species in aquaculture of the salmon family due to its high commercial value and the availability of farming technology. This paper presents data on the morphometric characteristics of rainbow trout fry grown in three types of farms in Kazakhstan and wild forms from Lake Lower Kolsay. The comparison was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,384 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimizing Boar Epididymal Sperm Preservation: Comparative Analysis of Slicing Float-Up vs. Flushing and BTS vs. Andromed® Extenders on Sperm Motility and Morphometry TraitsMamonene Angelinah Thema, Ntuthuko Raphael Mkhize, Gerhard van der Horst et al.Epididymal sperm collection represents a valuable strategy for preserving genetics from deceased or castrated boars of superior breeding value. The two primary collection methods-slicing float-up (high sperm yield) and flushing (low blood contamination risk)-differ in sperm recovery efficiency, while semen extenders provide cryoprotective nutrients that protect against cold shock during preservation. This study compared the effects of slicing float-up versus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 14 Mar 2026 · 1,794 accessesView PDF Cite
