Morphological Characterization of Indigenous Chickens in Silti, Dalocha, and Wulbareg Woredas of Silte Zone, South Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: A survey together with visual observation and body measurement was conducted in twelve selected farmers' kebeles of Silti, Dalocha, and Wulbareg woredas, located in the Silte zone south region of Ethiopia; to characterize the morphological characteristics of domestic indigenous chicken. Data on visual appraisal and linear body measurements were obtained from 600 matured local chickens of both sexes drawn from 120 households. Five mature chickens (aged more than 6 months) …

Growth Performance and Weight Estimation of Large White Piglets Weaned at Different Ages
Abstract: The study was carried out on 24 neonatal large white piglets at the National Livestock Breeding Station, Pong-Tamale to assess their performance when weaned at different ages and to determine the relationship between linear body measurements and the body weight of piglets in weight prediction. The piglets were randomly weaned at three selected weaning ages (4, 6 and 8 weeks) but reared under uniform conditions. Initial body weight (BW), initial …

BMI and Nutritional Level Classification using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
Abstract: AbstractThis paper is based on the study of improve the cutoff point and nutritional classification and status of overweight/obesity based on the EMI. Study was conduct on more than 1000 individual on both genders age between 18 and 60 years. The subjects underwent measurement of weight and height and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Instrumentation for the measurement of bioimpedance is simple, cost effective for mass production and is easy to use. …
