Body weight and body conformation of Cyprus Shami and Boer goats in Malaysia
Thirty Boer and 30 Cyprus Shami goats were measured for their body weights, height at withers, body length and heart girth. Each breed was divided into three age groups: group 1 (6-12 months old), group 2 (12-18 months old) and group 3 (more than 18 months old). Means for linear body measurements ac...
