ABSTRACT The morphometry study contributes to the comprehension of the animal conformation. The objective of this research was to study the morphometric measurements of crossbred female Murrah buffaloes, aiming to give subsidies to the study of the relations between their body structures and productive or reproductive performances. The morphometric body measurements studied were: the breast width (BW), thigh width (THW), hip width (HW), rump width (RW), rump length (RL), animal depth (AD), body… Expand

Multivariate analysis of body morphometric traits in conjunction with performance of reproduction and milk traits in crossbred progeny of Murrah × Jafarabadi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in North-Eastern Brazil
TLDR
The results could suggest that the body morphometric traits THW, HW, TW, LW, RW, HEW, BD, TP, RH, and BW could play important role in body structural composition, indicating a suitable functional type, and aid designing of selection programs for buffalo breeding. Expand
Reproduction performance, morphometric and structure population of Kuntu buffalo (Bubalis bubalis Merr) in Kampar District, Riau, Indonesia
TLDR
Kuntu buffalo reproduction is still efficient with the availability of substitute livestock exceeding the need of livestock and the natural increase of Kuntu buffalo population is very high. Expand
Facial and Body Morphometric Indices of the Arboreal African Pangolin ‎‎(Manis tricuspis): Anthropometric Tools in Describing the Pangolin
TLDR
Facial and body measurements obtained from the pangolins revealed that the females had higher averages for body weight, body length and girth, and the dimensions of the head showed that the males had a wider zygoma. Expand
Phenotypic diversity characterization of Kalang and Thale Noi Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Indonesia and Thailand: Perspectives for the buffalo breeding development
TLDR
Variations in qualitative and quantitative variables indicate phenotypic diversity in KBuf/TBuf which is a basis to perform selection and breeding development through pedigree recording, reproductive efficiency, cross-breeding, and genetic modification to produce high-quality buffalo breeding stock. Expand
Morphometric and microsatellite-based comparative genetic diversity analysis in Bubalus bubalis from North India
TLDR
The study provides important insights on buffalo breeds of North India that could be utilized in designing an effective breeding strategy, with an appropriate choice of breeds for upgrading local non-descript buffaloes along with conservation of unique germplasm. Expand

MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS ON PHENOTYPIC TRAITS OF BODY MEASUREMENT IN SWAMP BUFFALO (BUBALUS BUBALIS)
TLDR
Swamp buffalo in Semarang-Pati showed the closer relationships compared to the Pati-Kudus Districts and to Kudus district-Semarang City, and the results showed that best equation to estimate BW for male buffalo was Y= - 601,8 + 2,3 BL + 3,4 CD +2,4 CC, while that for female was Y = - 644,5. Expand
Study of the dairy characters of lactating Murrah buffaloes on the basis of body parts measurements
TLDR
BW, abdominal growth, muzzle thickness, and STK were found key factors while selecting a dairy Murrah buffalo and can be helpful as a selection tool to enhance and evaluate the production potential by setting standards of Murrahbuffalo breed. Expand

Phenotypic Characterization and Multivariate Analysis to Explain Body Conformation in Lesser Known Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) from North India
TLDR
It is suggested that first principal component can be used in the evaluation and comparison of body conformation in buffaloes and thus provides an opportunity to distinguish between early and late maturing to adult, based on a small group of biometric traits to explain body conformed in adultbuffaloes.

Pelvimetria e pelvilogia em búfalas mestiças (Bubalus bubalis)
TLDR
The internal pelvimetry was found to be less correlated to the body size and more evidently affected by the successive parturition occurrence and the bi-iliac and ilioisquiatic diameter. Expand
