Abstract:To study of the biodiversity of the sheep genetic resources, our phenotypic approach consists on the barymetric parameters of Algerian sheep breeds in western Algeria using the body measurements in 166 sheep of six breeds: Ouled Djellal, Hamra, Barbarine, Srandi, Daraa and Tazegzawt. The body measurements studied are: WH, SIL, HG, CD, SW, RW, TW, PL, HL, HW, EL, EW and CP, they are respectively : 84.71±7.15 cm ; 84.08±7.96 cm 103.53±10.79 cm ; 30.21±4.18 cm ; 17.34±2.09 cm ; 21.63±2.90 cm ; 26.01±2.32 cm ; 24… Show more
