Etude de quelques caractères morphométrique et quantitatif du cheval Arabe-barbe

Abstract

This study was conducted about Arabe-Barbe horses found in Haras Ben dhiba Salamandre city of Mostaganem The objective of this study characterize 7 morphological characters that were applied to 10 horses in order to characterize phenotypically quantitative morphological of Arabe-Barbe race that are between the age of 3 years and plus . This study showed significant values for quantitative traits both for individuals both sexes for the studied sample. The results showed between measured plan variables of gender differences. Tangible measures that were studied and the most representative for males and females are: HG, HC, HP, LT, TB, TP and PV. The results confirm the already known sexual dimorphism in horses, and also confirm the results already obtained by other researchers. This results also possible to compare the morphological characteristics of the sample studied with the Barbe race.
