Comparison of mathematical models to estimate live weight through heart girth in growing Pelibuey sheep

Comparison of mathematical models to estimate live weight through heart girth in growing Pelibuey sheep

Background: Assessment of animal growth based on live weight (LW) in traditional sheep production systems is limited by the high cost of purchase and maintenance of livestock scales. Objective: To develop and evaluate equations for LW prediction using heart girth (HG) in growing Pelibuey sheep. Meth...
