Estimation of Live Weight, Live Weight Gain and Feed Consumption Values by Using The Means of Body Measurements of Anatolian Merino Male Lambs at Fattening Period

Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate live weight, live weight gain and feed consumption values by using the means of body measurements (height at withers, height at rump, chest girth, chest depth, body length, leg girth) of Anatolian Merino male lambs at fattening period. The correlation coefficient between live weight and body measurements changed from 0.674 to 0.788 and were statistically significant (p<0.01). When live weight gain only significantly related to live weight (p<0.05), the relationships between feed consumption and height at withers, height at rump, chest depth, live weight (p<0.01) and body length, leg girth (p<0.05) were found to be significant. Live weight were estimated by using only chest girth as LW=- 51.8+1.04CG, due to its high and statistically significant relationship between final body weights.
