Using path analysis to predict bodyweight from body measurements of goats and sheep of communal rangelands in Botswana

The objective of this study was to determine the practicality of using linear body measurement traits to predict live weight of goats and sheep under communal grazing in three districts of Botswana, namely Central, Kweneng, and Kgalagadi. Pairwise (Pearson) correlations were estimated using bodyweig...
