| Abstract |
Body dimensions (body length, BL; heart girth, HG and wither height, WH) of Baladi calves were measured and correlated with their relevant body weight (BW) at 1, 6, 12 and 18 month of age (contemporaries). The correlation was determined again overall the entire growth period (from one to 18-months of age) as noncontomporaries. The total number of breeding records was 828 for 46 claves covering three consecutive years from 1997 to 1999. Data were collected from EI-Serw station that belongs to Animal Production Research Institute.
Relative growth rate was high in the first three months of age (49.1. 41.0, and 31.3, respectively), and declined sharply thereafter. Each of the three dimensions, expressed as ratios to BW, decreased over the growth period;
declined in ratio of BL to BW was less than the decreases in the other ratios
