This study aimed to determine the correlation between body dimensions in female Ettawa crossbreed goats, which had been carried out in Rano Jaya Village, Toari District, Kolaka Regency. The parameters calculated in this study were 21 parameters from 7 body dimensions in goats and 35 study samples. Then the parameters of this study were calculated using the Correlation Coefficient formula to find the level of correlation between body dimensions in female Ettawa crossbreed goats. Based on the results of the study obtained several quantitative properties of female Ettawa crossbreed goat morphology which were observed among them were body surface size. The average linear dimension of the body surface and the standard deviation include: shoulder height (64.12 ± 3.09), chest (29.30 ± 1.72), chest circumference (80.94 ± 5.64), chest width (17.15 ± 1.64), hip height (69.21 ± 2.15), hip width (21.46 ± 3.10) and body length (65.79 ± 4.50) grouped according to physiological status. Calculating of the dimensions of the female Ettawa crossbreed goat body size did not get a perfect correlation, but there were 3 variables that had a very strong (positive) correlation, namely Chest Circumference - Hip Width (0.82), Chest Circumference - Body Length (0.83) and Hip Width - Body Length (0.83). It can be concluded that the dimensions of Ettawa crossbreed female goat's body of 21 variables observed were only three variables which had a correlation value close to 1 indicating a very strong or positively correlated relationship, and it could be said that increasing body size (x) increases body size (y).

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between body weight and body size, as well to estimate body weight based on body size. A total of 159 Aceh cattle at weaning and yearling age were used in this study. The method used was a case study based on the data on weaning weight, yearling weight, and body size of Aceh cattle. The results showed that at the weaning age, the correlation values between body weight (BW) with chest circumference (CC), body length (BL), and shoulder height (SH) were 0.65, 0.56, and 0.64, respectively, while the determinant values were 0.42, 0.30, and 0.41, respectively. Regression model for estimating body weight at weaning age was BW = -30.23 + 0.47CC + 0.13BL + 0.50SH. At the yearling age, the correlation values of body weight with chest circumference, body length, and shoulder height were 0.69, 0.58, and 0.55, respectively, while the determinant values were 0.47, 0.34, and 0.30, respectively. The regression equation for yearling Aceh cattle was BW = -44.96 + 0.72CC + 0.46BL + 0.24SH. This study showed that the highest correlation was observed on the body weight with chest circumference compared to those with either body length or shoulder height.

This experiment was conducted to study the morphometric and genetic diversity of Tegal, Magelang, and their crossbred ducks. Each ten female about twenty weeks old ducks from Tegal, Magelang, Gallang, and Maggal ducks, respectively, were used as the group materialss. The body weight, chest circumference, body length, shank length, neck length, and pubis width were recorded and tested by analysis of variance of one way classification as the morphometric characteristics. Polymorphism of cytochrome b (cyt b) gene on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Genetic distance was analyzed based on value of heterozygosity, whereas the phylogeny tree was reconstructed using MEGA6 software. The results showed there were highly significant difference (P<0.01) on body weight, chest circumference, body length, and neck length between population, while shank and pubis width were not significant different. The genetic distance between Gallang and Maggal ducks (0.206) was higher than Tegal and Magelang ducks (0.169). It is concluded that the reciprocal crosses increased the morphometric and genetic diversity of Indonesian local duck population.

Observations were made on 79 Nigerian indigenous (NI) and 24 Large White pigs.There was. a, three-month delay, in growth acceleration in NI pigs as compared with LW pigs. Growth acceleration started at 7 and 4 months for NI and LW respectively. Over all ages studied, NI differed markedly from LW in live weight, body length, height, depth and ham dimen­sions but this difference was much less between males than between females_ In NI ;boars serially slaughtered, live and carcass weights doubled between 7 and 10 months of age while dressing percent and carcass length reached peak values at 10 months. Carcass backfat measurements were higher and more consistent at the shoulder than at the loin or rump. Com­bined longitudinal and dissection studies are needed to elucidate the growth curve, the true genetic potential for growth and the body fat deposition pattern in the NI pigs.

Comparative morphometric and morphological studies of microfilariae and infective stages were undertaken in nocturnally periodic and subperiodic Wuchereria bancrofti. For microfilariae, the body dimensions of nocturnally periodic (NP) were significantly smaller than nocturnally subperiodic (NSP), i.e. body length 268.03 ± 14.75 μm (NP), 307.61 ± 11.52 μm (NSP); cephalic space length 4.21 ± 0.62 μm (NP), 5.32 ± 0.79 μm (NSP); head to nerve ring 49.39 ± 5.43 μm (NP), 57.40 ± 4.46 μm (NSP); innenkörper length 33.05 ± 5.89 μm (NP), 44.02 ± 8.71 μm (NSP); cephalic space width 4.28 ± 0.59 μm (NP), 6.04 ± 0.68 μm (NSP); body width at nerve ring 5.01 ± 0.57 μm (NP), 7.45 ± 0.75 μm (NSP). The number of nuclei between the cephalic space and nerve ring of NP (66.67 ± 5.19) was also significantly less than in NSP (94.74 ± 6.95). For infective stages, the body dimensions of NP were significantly smaller than NSP, i.e. body length 1632.50 ± 131.48 μm (NP), 2002.63 ± 222.60 μm (NSP); head to nerve ring 103.09 ± 7.47 μm (NP), 122.44 ± 9.62 μm (NSP); head to oesophago-intestinal junction 567.69 ± 94.84 μm (NP), 666.75 ± 110.08 μm (NSP); body width at oesophago-intestinal junction 23.15 ± 1.55 μm (NP), 26.78 ± 1.62 μm (NSP). It is too early to infer the NP type as an additional sibling species of W. bancrofti but it is reasonable to treat it as a new variety and additional work is needed to clarify its status.

Цель - выявление особенностей динамики показателей тотальных размеров тела у студентов с различными соматотипами в возрастном периоде 17-22 года. Материал и методы. Исследование проводили в течение 2010-2018 гг. по результатам проспективных наблюдений показателей тотальных размеров тела у 530 студентов (240 юношей и 290 девушек) 17-22 лет в период их обучения в вузе. Типы телосложения определяли по методу В. Г. Штефко и Б. А. Островского (1929) в изложении С. С. Дарской (1975). Результаты. Среди обследованных студентов у 49,2 % юношей выявлены приросты ДТ, завершившиеся в 21-22 года, и у 35,6 % девушек, продолжающиеся только до 19-20 лет. У большинства студентов за время обучения в вузе отмечены приросты показателей массы тела и окружности груди, при этом также выявлены юноши и девушки, у которых эти показатели не изменились или даже снизились за исследуемый период. На старших курсах у большинства студентов приросты массы тела и окружности груди замедляются с остановкой ростовых процессов, но не прекращаются и ведут к увеличению числа студентов с избыточной массой тела, что подтверждается возрастанием численности молодежи с дигестивным типом телосложения и высокими значениями показателей индекса массы тела (BMI), в большей степени выраженным среди юношей. У студентов с торакальным типом телосложения, который является самым распространенным и динамичным соматотипом в исследуемой выборке, отмечены значимые приросты тотальных размеров тела. Аналогичная динамичность приростов выявлена у юношей с мышечным телосложением. За время обучения в вузе численность молодежи с торакальным типом телосложения снижается, при этом возрастает доля студентов с мышечным и дигестивным соматотипами. За время обучения в вузе у 14,1 % студентов меняется тип телосложения. Выводы. Выявлена обусловленность приростов показателей тотальных размеров тела у юношей и девушек в возрастном периоде 17-22 года типом телосложения, оказывающем влияние на скорость и направленность динамики показателей длины и массы тела и окружности грудной клетки. Objective - to identify the characteristics of the dynamics of indicators of total body size in students aged 17-22 years with different somatotypes. Material and methods. The study was conducted during 2010-2018 and was based on the results of prospective observations of morphological indicators of 530 students (240 boys and 290 girls) aged 17-22 during the period of study at the university. Body types were determined by the method of V. G. Shtefko and B. A. Ostrovsky (1929) as presented by S. S. Darskaya (1975). Results. Among the examined students, an increase in body length (BL) was found in 49,2 % of young men, and in 35,6 % of girls; the height gain stopped by 21-22 years in boys and by 19-20 years in girls. The majority of students during their study at the university showed increases in body mass and chest circumference. Boys and girls who demonstrated no change or even a decrease in these indicators during the study period were also found. In most senior students, gains in body weight and chest circumferences slowed down when the height growth ceased, but did not stop. It led to an increase in the number of overweight students, which is confirmed by the increase in the number of young people with an alimentive body type and high BMI values, more pronounced among boys. Students with a thoracic body type, which was the most common and dynamic somatotype in the studied sample, showed significant gains in total body size. Similar growth dynamics was found in boys with muscular body type. During training at the university, the number of young people with thoracic body type decreased, while the proportion of students with muscular and alimentive somatotypes increased. During the period of study in high school, the body type changed in 14,1 % students. Conclusions. The dependency of gains in indicators of total body size among boys and girls aged 17-22 on body type was revealed. The body type influenced the speed and direction of the dynamics of indicators of body length, weight and chest circumference.

ABSTRACTThe body dimensions and live weight of 126 Mule (Bluefaced Leicester × Scottish Blackface) and Scottish Blackface ewes were measured during the 1986/87 housing season. Body dimensions included: head and neck length, body length, diagonal body length, height to withers, height to rump, girth at widest point, heart girth, width at widest point and width at shoulders. It was found that most body dimensions varied greatly with body weight. However, some body dimensions such as head length were found to be independent of weight within the weight range studied. Prediction equations are presented for each body dimensions for unshorn sheep.These predictions can be used as a basis for the design of sheep housing, for example, trough space allowances, design of feeders or as a biological basis for space allowance.

<p>The objective of the present study was to study the qualitative characteristics (wool color, horned) and the quantitative characteristics (body weight, chest circumference, body length, age) of sheep and goats for qurban in the Mitra Tani Farm; and the consumers preferences of choosing the sheep and goat required for ‘qurban’ event. In total eighty three Jawarandu goats; 16 Garut; 37 Thin-Tailed and 35 Fat-Tailed rams were observed to measure their body weight, chest circumference, body length, age, the present of horn and hair color. Qualitative data was obtained by interviewing the owner and consumers of MT Farm (30 trader and 30 consumers). The data was statistically analysis using, chi-square test, correlation test and T test. The results showed that the consumers from Jakarta, Depok and Tangerang significantly (P&lt;0.05) prefer goats than rams, while the consumers from Bogor, Yogyakarta and Bandung prefer rams than goats. The traders more consider the weight of the body (posture) and the price, while consumers more consider the finance budget. The average body weight of Jawarandu was 25.84±4.54 kg; Garut, Fat-Tailed and Thin-Tailed rams were 29.32±3.61, 28.45±5.54 and 28.44±4.65 kg respectively. The chest girth had higher correlation with body weight than body length. The percentage of goats and rams age were 60.56% (I0), 33.89% (I1) and 5.56% (I2). The dominant color of Jawarandu goat were brown (54.2%), black (26.51%) and white (19.28%). The color of Fat-Tailed rams wool more uniform than Thin-Tailed rams or Garut.</p><p><br />(Key words: Characteristics of Sheep and Goat, Mitra Tani Farm, Qurban)</p>
