Skull sexual monomorphism in the gwembe dwarf goat breed from Zambia

This study involved some morphometric parameters of the skull of thirty adult Gwembe Dwarf Goats (15 males and 15 females) without any apparent skeletal disorders. Lower jaws were not included in this study. A total of 43 linear measurements were analyzed. The analysis reflected no differences betwe...

The analysis reflected no differences between sexes, thereby indicating lack of general conformation differences between males and females.
