Association of centre of gravity with various linear type traits at different physiological status of Sahiwal cattle

Abstract

For present investigation, 86 purebred Sahiwal cattle of Bull Mother Experimental Farm and Government Cattle Breeding Farm located at the campus of College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Anjora, Durg, Chhattisgarh were randomly divided into 5 groups on the basis of their physiological status viz. dry cows, early lactating cows, mid lactating cows, mid pregnant cows and late pregnant cows to measure the association between centre of gravity and linear type traits. All the linear type traits were measured and scored as per procedure described by International Committee for Animal Recording, 2018. During dry/non-pregnant stage, various significant correlations were observed for chest width/rear leg set-rear view (+ve; p
