“…These results agree with those published by other researchers [ 26 , 27 ], who showed that the measurements of BL, CW, and RW can be used to predict the HCW of wool lambs. Costa et al [ 8 ] found that BL and CW are important variables for predicting HCW and CCW in Morada Nova sheep. Shehata [ 10 ] reported that BL predicts 79% of the variation in HCW and CCW.…”

“…In addition to being time-consuming and costly due to the high number of samples and laboratory analyses required, these techniques promote waste, since half of the carcass is discarded after evaluations [ 5 ]. In this scenario, the use of biometric measurements can be a non-invasive and viable alternative to estimate carcass traits in sheep, as it has little to no additional cost to producers [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Although these techniques are promising for the subjective evaluation of carcass composition, their use is limited to laboratory conditions and the required equipment is expensive, which represents a challenge for developing countries. On the other hand, several authors (Bochno et al, 2000;Kleczek et al, 2006;Yakubu et al, 2009;Tyasi et al, 2018;Costa et al, 2020;Gomes et al, 2021) showed that the development of regression equations using somebody measurements represents an indirect, accurate and non-invasive method to predict carcass components. Additionally, this technique allows information to be collected from animals in vivo, without the need for sacrifice, so it can be useful for selective breeding and genetic improvement (Banerjee, 2011;Erensoy et al, 2020).…”

“…According to Ayichew (2019), Dorper sheep is a South African native meat breed known for attributes including low maintenance, fast reproduction, muscling, high dressing percentage, high growth rates and can survive under harsh climatic conditions. Wishart et al (2017) said weaning weight is a major economic parameter used to determine animal growth, judge qualitative traits of an animal and it represents the optimum parameter by which management, health, production, and marketing decisions can be made (Costa et al 2020). Rather et al (2021) indicated that animal morphological structure and improvement ability can be reflected by animal biometric traits, they serve as growth indicators, help in selection during breeding purposes and are also used for estimation of average live weaning weight of animals.…”

“…Other study has been done on Botswana communal sheep and goats using path analysis to predict weaning weight from body measurement traits (Temoso et al 2017). Path analysis was used to determine the relationship between weaning weight and some linear characteristics in Red Sokoto kids (Shuaibu et al 2020) and in some exotic sheep breeds (Costa et al 2020). There is limited literature on analysis technique involving the use of path analysis to determine the relationship between weaning weight and biometric traits of Dorper sheep at weaning.…”
