S. I. Daikwo, U. A. Dike & D. M. Ogah · Asian Research Journal of Agriculture · 2017

Seven hundred and twenty squabs raised from 180 couples of domestic pigeon were used to                 study the heritability, phenotypic and genetic correlations of body and egg traits. Body weight at hatch, 1- week, 2- weeks, 3- weeks, 4- weeks and at maturity were measured. A...

Prediction of Body Weight of Savanna Muturu Cattle (Bos brachyceros)

S. I. Daikwo, D. M. Ogah, A. J. Amuda & U. A. Dike · Asian Journal of Research in Animal and Veterinary Sciences · 2018

Stepwise multiple regression technique was used to predict body weight from linear body measurements in the savannah muturu cattle (Bos brachyceros). Sexual dimorphism was a significant (P˂0.05) source of variation for body weight (BW), ear length (EL), body length (BL), chest gi...
