Body Morphometric of Goat Local Race Destined to Slaughtering in Madagascar.
Journal Title: Global Journal of Animal Scientific Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Agroclimatics and range management process have zootechnic performances effects on Ruminants production (cattle, sheep and goat). During three months within centers of slaughtering in peripheric Capital zone, a population of 422 adults goats were involved in 15 morphometric measurements: body and face lengths; head, shoulder, chest and rump widths; withers, chest, reverse paunch and rump heights; spiral, chest and paunch girth and life weight. Statistical analysis has been involved for typology and predicting goats performances. Goat Malagasy race has middle size without significant variations according to life weight such as 34.63±6.93 kg (p <0.05); 84.34±6.87 cm body length; 64.87±4.31 cm withers height; 76.67±5.79 cm chest girth and 83.23±7.38 cm paunch girth. Implied in zootechnic and veterinary actions, chest and paunch girth have been the best barymetric parameters to predict goat life weight (r²=0.87-0.89).
