The McIntyre chart is used for Horsfields and the Jackson chart is for Hermanns

Thats what I thought...As I said above Horsfield use the McIntyre chart and Hermanns use the Jackson chart. Using the incorrect chart would give you the wrong guide for weight.

Jacksons ratio still works for Russians. That other ratio is based on captive animals... not accurate.
