Data was available on 498 horses registered by the Brazilian Association of Campeiro Horse Breeders. This included individual data on 16 linear traits [shoulder height (SH), mid back height (MBH), withers height (WH), back height (BH), head length (HL), neck length (NL), back length (BL), shoulder length (SL), hip length (HiL), body length (BOL), head width (HW), chest width (CW), hip width (HIW), chest circumference (CC), cannon bone circumference (CBC)], space under horse (SUH), coat color, temperament and nine subjective […]

This work aims to evaluate the morphology of Mangalarga Marchador foals with Factorial Analysis from August, 2000 to June, 2003. Nineteen linear measures relating to height, length, width and girth and 11 angular measures were made at birth’s week, in 55 colts and 41 fillies; at six months of age, in 35 colts and 37 fillies; and at twelve months of age, in 19 colts and 31 fillies. The factorial analysis was used to verify the existence of important relationships […]

This work aimed to evaluate body measures of colts and fillies of Mangalarga Marchador breed with principal components analysis. Measures were performed at birth week, in 55 colts and 41 fillies; at six months of age, in 35 colts and 37 fillies; and at twelve months of age, in 19 colts and 31 fillies. There were made 25 linear measures, including height, length, width and girth, and 11 angular measures. Evaluation of animals with 12 months of age was made […]

This work aims to evaluate the body measures of colts and fillies of Mangalarga Marchador breed using a discriminant analysis. Measures were performed at birth week, in 55 colts and 41 fillies; at six months age, in 35 colts and 37 fillies; and at twelve months age, in 19 colts and 31 fillies. There were made 25 linear measures, including height, length, width and girth, plus 11 angular measures. Discriminant analysis was used to verify morphologic differences between the animals, […]
