Abstract
Data for 100 males and 29 females of Bison bison bison covering a wide age range were fitted to a power relationship of the form: Y = e.alpha.X.beta. where Y = weight of entire carcass, X = chest girth, e = 2.7183 (the mathematical constant, base of natural logarithms), and .alpha. and .beta. are coefficients. The regressions presented should prove useful, especially since bison are beginning to be ranched extensively.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
