Abstract


One hundred sheep of mixed sexes were used to assess the relationship between body measurements and body weight in sheep. The results revealed a significant difference among parameters measured as the age of the animal increases. Also sex had influence on distance between eyes and ear length with males having higher values. However, the stepwise regression equations derived show low percentage of fitness.
