Iğdır’da Yetiştirilen Eşeklerin Bazı Morfolojik Özellikleri

Year 2011, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 113 - 116, 30.06.2011

Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de eşeklerin morfolojik özellikleri hakkında yapılan ilk araştırmadır. Bu çalışma Iğdır’da yetiştirilen eşeklerin vücut rengi dağılımı ve ölçülerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma Ekim-Kasım.2010 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiş ve 1-3 yaş, 4-5 yaş, 6-7 yaş and 8-13 yaş olmak üzere dört yaş grubuna ayrılan 56 erkek ve 38 dişi eşek kullanılmıştır. İncelenen eşeklere ait tanımlayıcı istatistik değerler cidago yüksekliği 99.1 cm, sağrı yüksekliği 101.0 cm, vücut uzunluğu 103.0 cm, göğüs çevresi 111.5 cm, göğüs derinliği 45.4 cm, göğüs genişliği 29.1 cm, sağrı genişliği 34.8 cm, kuyruk uzunluğu 48.3 cm, bacak uzunluğu 53.7 cm, ön incik çevresi 13.4 cm, baş uzunluğu 48.4 cm ve kulak uzunluğu 21.8 cm olarak bulunmuştur. Vücut rengi dağılımı için yapılan analiz sonucunda, renklerin dağılımı oransal olarak boz % 38.0, beyaz % 21.2, siyah 20.9 ve kahverengi % 19.9 olarak bulunmuştur. Yaşın etkisi; göğüs çevresi, baş uzunluğu (P

Some Morphological Traits of Donkeys Raised in Iğdır, Turkey

Year 2011, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 113 - 116, 30.06.2011

Abstract

This research is the first to document the morphology of the donkeys in Turkey. The purpose was

conducted to determine some morphological traits, frequencies of body coat colour and body measurements of donkeys

raised in Province of Iğdır in Turkey. To this end, a total of 56 male and 38 female donkeys were measured into

four age groups (1-3, 4-5, 6-7 and 8-13 years) between October and December 2010. Descriptive statistics results

yielded the following means: withers height 99.1 cm, height at rump 101.0 cm, body length 103.0 cm, heart girth

circumference 111.5 cm, chest depth 45.4 cm, chest width 29.1 cm, haunch width 34.8 cm, tail length 48.3 cm, limb

length 53.7 cm, cannon circumference 13.4 cm, head length 48.4 cm and ear length 21.8 cm. Also the frequencies

of body coat color of the sampled donkeys were 38.0% mouse gray, 21.2% white, 20.9 black and 19.9% brown.

Age affected morphologic traits and there were significant difference between traits of heart girth circumference,

head length (P<0.05) and withers height, height at rump, body length, cannon circumference, ear length (P<0.01).

It could be said that they reached their mature body size at two years of age. It can be concluded that donkeys in

Iğdır are small in size.
