Prediction Equation for Body Weight in Bidri Goats

M.D. Suranagi, V.B. Shettar, U.S. Biradar

Abstract


Biometrical observations were recorded on 53 Bidri goats in and around Bidar taluka. The measurements recorded on body length (point of shoulder to Pin bone), chest girth (circumference immediately behind the forelimbs) and height (ground level to wither). Live body weight was also recorded on adult normal Bidri goats. The correlation coefficients between various biometrical measures were highly significant (P< 0.01). For estimating the body weight the prediction equation was developed.
