Abstract

Linear body measurement traits have been known to be an important trait to estimate live body weight. The aim of this research was to determine the correlation between linear body measurements and body weight in thin-tailed ewes. Data on body weight (BW), chest girth (CG), body length (BL), and wither height (WH) of the 66 thin tailed ewes were analyzed. The ewes were also grouped by age (1-1.5 years (PI 1), 1.5-2 years (PI 2), and 2.5-3 years (PI 3)). The correlation between BW and linear body measurement traits were estimated using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The result showed that the correlation between CG, BL, and WH with BW in thin tailed ewes for PI 1 were 0.66, 0.72, and 0.28 respectively; for PI 2 were 0.81, 0.40, and 0.46 respectively and for PI 3 were 0.82, 0.51, and 0.62 respectively. The most accurate linear regression equation to predict body weight based on vital statistics in female thin tailed sheep were BW= -16.58+0.76BL for PI, BW= -37.74+0.89CG for PI 2, BW= -37.61+0.92CG for PI 3. The correlation between chest girth and body weight in all age groups was the highest. Therefore, chest girth was the most important linear body measurement trait to estimate the body weight of thin-tailed ewes.
