Study of Relationships among head, neck and ear measurements in young lambs

The present research work was conducted in order to explore association among various head, neck and ear measurements of local sheep found in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Data on 97 lambs were recorded including identity of the animal where lambs have ages in the range of 1-6 months. Data on both sexes (males and females) were recorded. The body measurements included Head length, Head width, Ear length, Ear width, Neck length and Neck width. After collecting, data were edited and tested for normality. Data were analyzed to determine the association among them using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. From this study we can explain relationships among various body measurements and predict them from other measurements.
