Phenotypic Characterisation of the Indigenous Zavot Cattle Under In-situ Conditions in Northeastern of Turkey

Abstract

Zavot Catte that was commonly found in Kars, Ardahan districts in Northeastern Turkey region were initially introduced into this region by Molokon Folk and German people migrating from the Estonian border and interior of Russia. The breed possess to blood mixture which comprised of crossbreed of Simmental, Brown Swiss and Eastern Anatolian Red breeds, but had also Podolya breed' blood. To morphological, Zavot cattle have light tones such as white, blondish for coat color, and are horned generally. The mean descriptive values of the body measurement were for body weight, body length, height at withers and hearth girth, 23.96 kg, 65.19 cm, 71.07 cm and 76.37 cm, respectively for birth periot; 70.53 kg, 77.93 cm, 82.12 cm and 93.36 cm, respectively for 3 age month; 385.9 kg, 145.7 cm, 126.3 cm and 170.2 cm, respectively for adult age. The highest ratio of fat, protein and dry matter were found at August (4.22%), June (3.37%) and June (12.0%), respectively. Zavot cattle can show a high potential, though their current morphological performance is seen to low, because of the suboptimal management conditions, and breeding area insufficiency.
