Abstract
To accomplish this, data were collected from 504 adult female goats of the Alpine (milk), Boer (meat), Anglo-Nubian (dual-purpose) breeds, as well as the Brazilian Mambrine, Azul, and Gurgueia breeds, and representative animals from undefined populations of Piaui (UDB-PI), Nambi, Marota and Repartida goats. From the body measures of wither height (WH), hip height (CH), body length (BL) and thoracic circumference (TP), the following zoometric indices were calculated: length-height (LH5 CC/WH), height-height (HH5WH/CH), depthheight (DH5 TP/WH) and length-depth (LD5 BL/TP). These ratios were subjected to descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and tests of comparison of averages using the Scott-Knott test (P, 0.05).
