Use of body linear measurements to estimate liveweight of crossbred dairy cattle in smallholder farms in Kenya
Body linear measurements, and specifically heart girth (HG), have been shown to be useful predictors of cattle liveweight. To test the accuracy of body linear measurements for predicting liveweight, crossbred dairy cattle of different genotypes were measured and weighed. A total of 352 mature cows a...
