The measurement was investigated with 18 heads of fetus(60, 90, 120 days of gestation) and neonate in Korean native goats. The results were summerized as follows: 1. The crown-rump length of fetuses at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was 8.71, 20.83, 31.10 and 34.93 cm, respectively. 2. The length of small intestine at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was 32.28, 157.10, 303.52 and 457.06 cm, respectively. 3. The length of large intestine at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was 9.20, 37.70, 82.06 and 94.46 cm, respectively. 4. The ratio of intestinal length to crown-rump length at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was 4.76, 9.45, 12.40 and 15.79 times, respectively. 5. At 60 days of gestation, the total length of the vertebral column was $7.40{pm}0.72cm$, The mean length of each segment of the vertebral column was $1.55{pm}0.20cm$ in cervical, $2.29{pm}0.21cm$ in thoracic, $1.46{pm}0.10cm$ in lumbar, $0.51{pm}0.04cm$ in sacral and $1.59{pm}0.17cm$ in coccygeal vertebrae. 6. At 90 days of gestation, the total length of the vertebral column was $16.52{pm}0.80cm$. The mean length of each segment of the vertebral column was $3.72{pm}0.12cm$ in cervical, $5.09{pm}0.26cm$ in thoracic, $3.22{pm}0.04cm$ in lumbar, $1.97{pm}0.03cm$ in sacral and $2.64{pm}0.35cm$ in coccygeal vertebrae. 7. At 120 days of gestation, the total length of the vertebral column was $26.35{pm}0.34cm$. The mean length of each segment of the vertebral column was $6.09{pm}0.16cm$ in cervical, $7.81{pm}0.07cm$ in thoracic, $5.08{pm}0.07cm$ in lumbar, $3.07{pm}0.02cm$ in and $4.31{pm}0.02cm$ in coccygeal vertebrae. 8. In the neonate, the total length of the vertebral column was $32.41{pm}1.57cm$. The mean length of each segment of vertebral was $7.70{pm}0.25cm$ in cervical, $9.97{pm}0.68cm$ in thoracic, $5.58{pm}0.44cm$ in lumbar, $3.85{pm}0.15cm$ in sacral and $5.05{pm}0.06cm$ coccygeal vertebrae. 9. The chest girth at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was $6.13{pm}0.51$, $13.45{pm}0.84$, $20.28{pm}1.53$ and $22.94{pm}1.75cm$, respectively. 10. The head length at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was $2.93{pm}0.07$, $6.67{pm}0.13$, $8.84{pm}0.51$ and $9.76{pm}0.44cm$, respectively. 11. The width of the head at 60, 90, 120 days of gestation and neonate was $2.20{pm}0.13$, $4.45{pm}0.11$, $5.33{pm}0.20$ and $5.51{pm}0.32cm$, respectively. |
