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 accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Different Rumen Undegraded Protein Level on Feed Consumption, Nutrient Digestion, Body Weight and Body Condition Score in Early Lactating Dairy CattleBudi Prasetyo Widyobroto, Rochijan, Fajar Satrio Pradana, Lies Mira YusiatiThe objective of this study was to determine effect of different rumen undegraded protein level on feed consumption, nutrient digestion, body weight and body condition score in early lactating dairy cattle. Ten Friesian Holstein cows were divided into two groups (five animals were used as control and another group as treatment object). Diets were forages and concentrates with ratio of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Body Weight and Age at Puberty and Mating on Subsequent Gilt Development Weights, Litter Traits, and Colostral Immunoglobulin G of the F1 Large White X Landrace GiltsThembela Happines Matukane, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe, Bohani Mtileni et al.The purpose of this study was to assess how body weight and age at puberty and mating in F1 Large White x Landrace pigs influence subsequent gilt development weights, litter characteristics, and colostral immunoglobulin G levels. A total of 168 gilts were categorized into different weight groups, i.e., body weight at puberty (lighter gilts: <103 kg, moderate gilts: 103-109 kg) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2024 · 5,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparison 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 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGrowth 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 accessPhrase in the titleFeeding by Logistic Feed (Mash, Silage, Pellet and Wafer) Compared with Conventional Feed on Physiological, Blood Biochemical and Body Weight Gain Recovery in Tropical Sheep Pasca TransportationYuli Retnani, Anuraga Jayanegara, Sazli Tutur Risyahadi et al.The process of transportation of animals from one to another area can lead to stress. Animals tend to reduce feed intake which then affects animal performance, so palatable feed is needed, with high energy content, and can speed up the body weight recovery process. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of logistic feed (mash, silage, pellet, and wafer) compared … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2022 · 6,222 accessesView PDFCite
