Linear measurements of six body dimensions were taken of Large White × Landrace pigs in the live-weight range of 1 kg to 286 kg. Logarithmic regression lines were fitted to the live-weight and measurement data. It was found that the body dimensions could be expressed as a function of live weight and that these equations agreed well with the simple allometric equation L = kW1/3, where linear dimension, W= live weight and k= an appropriate coefficient. It is suggested that these equations may provide a method of estimating the static space occupied by a pig and thus provide a basis for the development of space allocation recommendations in pig housing. It is also suggested that these principles may be applicable to other livestock.
