| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>In this study, the data obtained to describe the body
characteristics of the Hair Goat ,were utilized in the businesses
that were registered with Karaman Province Breeding
Sheep and Goat Breeders Association. Body measurement of
130 goats, 2-7 years old and 50 billy goats, 2-4 years old, selected
by simple random sampling method for total 900. The
main motivation of the study was to determine the relationship
between body weight and some body measurements
with nonlinear models in hair goats in Karaman region.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In the study, we estimated the live
weight with nonlinear models. Nonlinear univariate regression
models were used.<p>
<b>Results:</b> When the results of the study were evaluated, statistically
significant results were obtained by using Quadratic
or Cubic methods from nonlinear univariate models.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Researchers may choose the multivariate regression
method occurs when the appropriate terms and conditions,
but with time constraints and chest girth quadratic
or cubic univariate methods impractical for situations be offered
an estimate using the variable. |
