THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PHENOTYPIC BODY INDICES OF LOCAL GOAT
Keywords:
Local goat, Body indices, Animal age, Prediction equation
Abstract
The relationship between some body indices are significant tools to evaluate the final yield in animals. The present research was carried out in a private farm at Sumeal area, Duhok province, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The present trial aimed to illustrate the relationships between/among some body indices, in addition to try finding a prediction equation for some complicated body indices. One-way ANOVA, correlation and regression coefficients were analyzed. The results revealed that most body indices differed significantly (p≤0.05) among the studied ages; and the correlation coefficients between of them were also significant (p≤0.05). The stepwise analysis within regression revealed that it may predict with Body ratio (BR) from body (IB) and from weight 3 (Heart girth related), with high significant effect (p≤0.01), but having relatively low coefficient of variation (R2)
