dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted with the aim of determining differences between some body measurements of South Anatolian Red (SAR) and Native Southern Yellow (NSY) cows because of they were generally evaluated in the same cattle breed name in Turkey. In the present study, 92 heads of SAR cows and 100 heads of NSY cows were used as animal material. These cattle types were in in-situ conservation program of domestic animal genetic resource held in 2005. In this context, the herds for SAR and NSY cattle were established in Hatay and Adana provinces, respectively. In the study, four body measurements (Body Length: BL, Withers Height: WH, Rump Height: RH and Chest Depth: CD) of the cattle types were investigated and were compared according to these body measurements. Statistical analysis showed that the overall means (+/- SE) of BL, WH, RH and CD for SAR cows were 141.37 +/- 1.26 cm, 123.22 +/- 1.06 cm, 128.38 +/- 1.13 cm and 64.06 +/- 0.53 cm respectively. The overall means of body measurements indicated above for NSY cows were 119.29 +/- 0.84 cm, 103.29 +/- 0.68 cm, 105.70 +/- 0.79 cm and 55.63 +/- 0.39 cm respectively. Independent two-sample t-test showed that the mean differences all of body measurements between two cattle types were statistically significant (P< 0.01). The results supported that these cattle types were different cattle breeds, although they were generally evaluated in the same cattle breed name (as Native Yellow Red cattle: NYR). | |
