“…Whereas, Hassan et al (2007) measured the length (16.12 ±0.41), breadth of the proximal end (4.41 ±0.17), breadth of the distal end (3.49 ±0.21) and breadth of diaphysis (1.77 ±0.09) of humerus in adult female Morkaraman sheep, a local Turkish breed. Findings of present study are in agreement with Okpe and Adamu (2002) but partial agreement with those of Siddiqui et al (2008) and Hassan et al (2007). The variation could be attributed to breed difference.…”

“…While comparing humerus at different variables revealed that the bones of Dumbi sheep are heavier, broader but shorter than those of Bari goat. Okpe and Adamu (2002) indicated that the bones of the Yankassa sheep were heavier and longer, with greater diameter than those of the Red Sokoto goat of the same age. Although the differences he found were not statistically significant (p>0.05).…”

Morphological studies were conducted on the Humerus of 60 clinically healthy animals (30 Bari goat and 30 Dumbi sheep) of both sexes, slaughtered at Tandojam and Tando Allahyar abattoirs. For comparative study, animals were divided in three age groups viz., lambs/kids (6-9 months), yearlings (13-21 months) and adult (21-24 months). The estimated age was determined through dental formula, whereas, the body weight was obtained using spring balance. For collection and preparation of specimen standard procedures were adopted. The weight (Mean± SEM) of right and left humerus of three age groups of Bari goat and Dumbi sheep is found to be 26.66±0.

“…Umar et al (2013) further stated that these colours currently represent the population of RSG with only about 19% of the total population found within Sokoto and its environs and are classified as dark Red Sokoto goat. The forearm consists of radius and ulna bones (Okpe & Adamu, 2002). The bones are rod-like, with a shaft and two extremities.…”
