In this study,66 geese which were 14 weeks old, healthy, similar body condition and lived in the similar grazed environment were selected randomly as experimental samples, the body measurements traits of Pingba gray goose were measured. The results showed that body weight, breast width, shank length, shank girth of male geese were significantly higher than female geese. Correlation analysis showed that there were no significant
correlated between body slanting length and fossil bone length, shank girth and breast depth.Regression analysis between body measurements traits and body weight showed that the optimum regression equation was obtained as follows, Y=-787.718+61.742X2+94.298X4+234.253X6, determination coefficients of model (R2) was 0.557, coefficients of stimate value of fossil bone length (X2), breast width (X4) and shank girth (X6) reached a very significant level. |
