The aim is to estimate the relationship between live body weight and linear body measurements in Abergelle goats.
Data collected from 903 Abergelle goats in Waghimra zone.
Goats classified into male and female, and five age groups.
Stepwise regression procedures used to analyze data.
Regression and correlation analyses conducted for live weight predictions.
Positive correlations found between live weight and heart girth for both sexes.
Heart girth explained 64% of weight variation in males and 58% in females.
Live weight predicted from various linear measurements with strong coefficients.
