MORPHOMETRIC STUDIES OF THE CRANIO-FACIAL REGION OF THE WEST AFRICAN DWARF GOAT IN NIGERIA

This study involved the measurement of some parameters in the craniofacial region of the West African Dwarf Goat (WADG). The mean weight of the head was 0.74kg. The length of the rima oris and space between the median canthi were 8.69cm ad 8.81 cm respectively. The right palpebral fissure and extern...
