The magnitude of correlation coefficient (r) indicate that WHQ shows the highest correlation with live weight (r = 0.96) compared to HG (r = 0.94). withers and chest depth were measured. The ewes are thought to go into oestrus throughout the year. Heart girth (HG) and WHQ depicted the highest relationship to live weight in linear and allometric models compared to other body measurements. Indian Journal of Animal Production and Management, 5, 162–166.
