- Abstract
The objectives of the research was to analyse how accurate the estimation of body weight based on BCS (Body Condition Score) and linear measurements such as chest girth, body height, body length in Fat Tailed Shep. Data was collected in this research was purposively. Data were analysed using simple linear regression and simple correlation. The result showed that chest girth has the highest relationship (P < 0.01) with body weight with regression line was Y = -17.73 + 0.64 X with correlation coefficient was 0.79 and determination coefficient was 56%. Body height and body weight has regression line was Y = 4.8 + 0.32X (R2 = 42%); body length and body weight was correlated with regression line Y = -8.77 + 0.68 X (R2 = 19%). The correlation between body weight and Body Condition Score showed very significant relationship, namely (P < 0.01). The regression equation formed from the results of this analysis is Y = 8.811 + 8.117X. The coefficient of determination (R2) formed was 56%. The conclussion was there were strong relationship between BW-CG, BCS-BW and Bl-BW and BW-BH. Chest girth has the highest relationship with body weight.
