ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of six body weight (BW) estimating methods in Mangalarga Marchador horses (MM) (n = 318): method A – tape placements at three different positions around the thoracic girth; B – Crevat and Quetelec’s formula; C – Hall’s formula; D – Hintz and Griffiths’ table; E – Santos’ table; and F – Cintra’s formula. For additional analyses, gender, age, and gestational stage were considered. Estimated average BW was compared to the actual scale […]
