The Determination of Some Morphological Characteristics of Honamlı Goat and Kids, Defined as A New Indigenius Goat Breed of Turkey

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the growth, testicular dimensions, body measurements of kids until the weaning age and mature goats in the recently defined Honamlı goat breed in Turkey. This study has been carried out on 7 different Honamlı herds that consist of 207 kids, 174 goats and 22 goat bucks that have been breed in the Burdur, Antalya and Konya provinces under extensive conditions. The average of some important measurements such as withers height, rump height, body length, chest girth, tail leng… Show more

“…With approximately 30% of the goat population present within the Mediterranean region of Anatolia (4,5), small ruminant production, and specifically lowinput goat farming, is a potential source of significant economic return. Indigenous to this mountainous region and of economic importance to small-scale family farms, Hair goats ('Kıl' in Turkish) are a predominant breed and constitute 90% of the goat population in Turkey (4).…”

“…Despite their low genetic potential for production, Hair goats are characterized by relatively good resistance to diseases and parasites and the ability to withstand unfavorable climates, endure periods of drought, and tolerate poor quality of grazing (2). In contrast, Honamlı goats represent a relatively small proportion of the goat population, maintain a larger body size relative to other indigenous goat breeds, and are typically raised by nomads on the hillsides of the Taurus Mountains (4)(5)(6).…”

“…Elmaz ve arkadaşları (9) yaptıkları araştırmada, oğlak ve erişkin keçilerde morfolojik vücut ölçülerinin ve canlı vücut ağırlıklarının Türkiye'de var olan diğer keçi ırklarının birçoğundan çok yüksek olduğunu belirlemişlerdir. Honamlı ırkı keçiler Türkiye'de yetiştirilen keçi ırkları arasında en yüksek et üretim potansiyeline sahip ırklardan birisidir(9,10). Evaluation of goat barn status in flocks Ancak, bu ırka yönelik CAEV enfeksiyonu konusunda herhangi bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır.Bu araştırmada, 5 yerleşim yerinden ve 10 ağıldan toplanan 187 keçi kan serumu, ELISA testi uygulanarak CAEV antikorları yönünden kontrol edildi.…”
