Predicting The Body Weight Of Balochi Sheep Using A Machine Learning Approach, Zil E. Huma, Farhat Iqbal
Predicting The Body Weight Of Balochi Sheep Using A Machine Learning Approach, Zil E. Huma, Farhat Iqbal
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Various machine learning algorithms have been used to model and predict the body weight of rams of the Balochi sheep breed of Pakistan. The traditional generalized linear model along with regression trees, support vector machine, and random forests methods have been used to develop models for the prediction of the body weight of animals. The independent variables (inputs) include the body (body length, heart girth, withers height) and testicular (scrotal diameter, scrotal circumference, scrotal length, and testicular length) measurements of 131 male sheep 2-36 months of age. The performance of the models is assessed based on evaluation criteria of mean …

Correlations Between Egg Weight, Early Embryonic Development, And Some Hatching Characteristics Of Japanese Quail (Coturnix Japonica), Beata Grzegrzó?Ka, Joanna Gruszczy?Ska
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The correlations between selected egg, embryo development, and chick traits were analyzed in three lines of Japanese quail subjected to intrafamily selection for 28th day body weight (group S) and in three lines of random control birds (group K). The significant correlation coefficients between egg weight and most of the traits observed after the first two days of incubation as well as chick weight and shank length were estimated. Most of the correlations obtained were significant in both groups. No statistically significant differences between groups were confirmed, but there was a lines effect within the groups in most cases and …
