CATTLE BODY WEIGHT CALCULATOR
Agarwal’s formula: It is the modified Shaeffer’s formula developed for the Indian cattle. The equation used for calculating live weight was W = (G × L)/Y, where W is body weight in kg, Y is equal to 9.0 if girth is less than 65 inches, Y is equal to 8.5 if girth is between 65 and 80 inches, Y is equal to 8.0 if girth is over 80 inches. L is length of the animal from point of shoulder to pin bone in inches, and G is the chest girth of the animal in inches. The final weight was converted into kg. In the figure given below, (a) is the length(L) (b) is the height of the animal(not required in the above formula) (c) is the Girth(G)
