PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF GATACKO CATTLE FROM THE REGION OF HERZEGOVINA

Phenotypic measures (parameters), 15 in total, are divided into two groups, for the sake of clarity, as follows: a) height at withers (WH), back height (BH), loin height (LH), body length (BL), chest width (CW), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), hip width (HW), pin bones width (PBW), front shin gi...

Description
Summary:Phenotypic measures (parameters), 15 in total, are divided into two groups, for the sake of clarity, as follows: a) height at withers (WH), back height (BH), loin height (LH), body length (BL), chest width (CW), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), hip width (HW), pin bones width (PBW), front shin girth (FSG), back shin girth (BSG); b) head length (HL), forehead width (FW), horn length (HNL), horn girth (HNG). For the purpose of data analysis, the aim was to determine the variability of the average values of the examined parameters, body indices, correlation of investigated parameters and significance of calculated correlation coefficients. For the purpose of data analysis, the aim was to determine the variability of average values of the examined parameters, body indices, correlation of the investigated parameters and to determine the significance of the calculated correlation coefficients. Phenotypic measures (parameters), 15 in total, are divided into two groups, for the sake of clarity, as follows: a) height at withers (WH), back height (BH), loin height (LH), body length (BL), chest width (CW), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), hip width (HW), pin bones width (PBW), front shin girth (FSG), back shin girth (BSG); b) head length (HL), forehead width (FW), horn length (HNL), horn girth (HNG) Measuring of body dimensions (morphometric, phenotypic) were performed using zootechnical aids. In addition to them, the following indices were calculated: format index (obtained by dividing the average body length by the average height at withers, expressed as a percentage), chest index (obtained by dividing the average chest width by the average chest depth, expressed as a percentage), density index (obtained by dividing the average chest girth by the average body length, expressed as a percentage), massiveness index (obtained by dividing the average chest girth by the average height at withers, expressed as a percentage).
