Growth Pattern of Different Body Dimensions in Female Kacang Goats

The purpose of this study was to determine the growth patterns of female Kacang goats Growth Pattern of Different Body Dimensions in Female Kacang Goats. We measured23 female goatsforvariables includingbody weight, chest circumference, shoulder height, and body length. The results showed that body weight followed the sigmoid curve pattern (S) with a regression equation y = 0.0005x3-0.0837x2 + 3.0707x + 0.119 with a coefficient of determination of 88.99%, while body size for chest circumference, body length, and shoulder height follows a polynomial pattern withregression equations y = -0.0627x2+ 3.1156x+40.333, y = -0.033x2+ 1.6941x + 43.125, and y = -0.0418x2+ 2.1168x + 39.089, respectivelyand the coefficient of determination was 85.26%, 82.46%,and 68.53%, respectively. The researchconcludedthat the growth of body dimensions in livestock has fluctuated.The increase of bodydimensions in female-goat goats peaked at the age of 21-30 months, then started to decline during31-40 months. It is correlated with the fact that age greatly affects the dimensions of the animalbody. The highest coefficient determination value was observed in body weight, namely 88.89%
