The determination of some morphological traits and phenotypic correlations of Turkish Hair goat (Kıl keçisi) breed reared in extensive conditions in Turkey

Amaç: Bu çalışma ekstansif koşullarda yetiştirilen Kıl Keçilerinin vücut ölçüleri, testis özellikleri ve meme özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Veriler 17 farklı sürüden toplandı. 675 dişi ile 63 tekeden 17 tane vücut ölçüsü, 12 tane meme ölçüsü ve 6 tane de testis özelliği için veri alındı. Bulgular: Keçilerinin canlı ağırlık, cidago yüksekliği, göğüs çevresi, göğüs derinliği, sağrı yüksekliği ve vücut uzunluğu sırasıyla 51.2 kg, 74.8 cm, 86.8 cm, 32.9 cm, 75.8 cm ve 80.6 cm olarak tespit edildi. Benzer ölçüler tekelerde sırasıyla 82.8 kg, 86.6 cm, 100.7 cm, 37.7 cm, 8.0 cm ve 93.7 cm olarak belirlendi. Meme uzunluğu, meme genişliği, meme çevresi, meme derinliği, meme başı uzunluğu, meme başı genişliği ve meme başı açısı sırasıyla 7.5 cm, 10.1 cm, 36.1 cm, 18 cm, 5.8 cm, 2.6 cm ve 49.3º olarak belirlendi. Skrotum çevresi ve skrotum uzunluğu sırasıyla 29.9 cm ve 20.5 cm olarak tespit edildi. Dişilerde vücut ölçüleri ve meme özelliklerine (sternum yüksekliği ve meme yerleşim şekli hariç) şehir, sürü ve yaşın etkisi önemli bulundu (P< 0.01-0.001). En yüksek fenotipik korelasyonlar canlı ağırlık ve göğüs çevresi arasında; 0.82 (dişi) ve 0.87 (erkek) olarak belirlendi (P

Türkiye’de ektansif koşullar altında yetiştirilen Kıl Keçisinin bazı morfolojik özellikleri ile fenotipik korrelasyonları- nın belirlenmesi

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine body measurements, testicular characteristics and udder traits in Turkish Hair goat reared under the extensive conditions.Materials and Methods: The data were collected from 17 different flocks. 17 body measurements, 11 udder and 6 testis traits were recorded from 675 females and 63 bucks.Results: Live weight, withers height, chest girth, rump height, body length were detected as 51.2 kg, 74.8 cm, 86.8 cm, 75.8 cm and 80.6 cm, respectively in female Hair goats. Same measurements were determined to be 82.8 kg, 86.6 cm, 100.7 cm, 86.0 cm and 93.7 cm for males. Udder length, udder width, udder girth, udder depth, teat length, teat width and teat angle were detected as 7.5 cm, 10.1 cm, 36.1 cm, 18 cm, 5.8 cm, 2.6 cm and 49.3 grade, respectively. Scrotal circumference and scrotum length were determined as 29.9 cm and 20.5 cm respectively. The effects of area, flock and age were significant for all body measurements and udder traits (except sternum height and udder placement shape) for females (P
