Phenotypic variability and characterization of the body conformation of Brazilian Sport Horse, Breton Postier and Brazilian Donkey equine breeds
Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2019, Vol 36, Issue 36
Abstract
This study aimed to characterize morphologically equines of the Brazilian Sport Horse (BSH), Breton Postier (BP) and Brazilian Donkey (BD) breeds, in order to discriminate morphological patterns within and between herds, classifying horses according to body indices. Hipometer, ruler angles and tape measure were used to register linear and angular body measurements in the animals. It was identified evidence of different morphological patterns (P<0,05) between and within the evaluated breeds. The animals of the BSH breed were mostly classified as mediolineus shape, the BD breed as longilineus, and BP breed as brevilineus shape.
