ABSTRACT
Analysis
of secondary data was carried out to investigate the effects of sex, season and
strain on initial body weight of goats. The seasons in which the experiment was
carried out were the early rainy season, the late rainy season, the dry season
and the post rainy season and this was carried out on six strains of goats.
Since the data used in this study were secondary data, there would be no need
going into details about how the experiment was carried out. 1-lowever, the
main objective of the study is to know whether the initial weight of goats depends
on sex, strain or season or their interactions. The methods used for this are
the analysis o! vuritmec (split'plot) and the method of least squarest The
method of least squares was used to estimate the model parameters. After the
estimations, the values were used to compute the values fbr the ANOVA table ot
the spUt..plot From the ANOVA table, it was found that sex was only significant.
It was lirther observed that estimates of the effects of season decreased us
the season changed from rainy to dry season at a rate of 0.001. Also estimates
of,strain and sex decreased at the same rate.
