ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate which morphometric variables have the greatest influence on the conformation differences observed in a subpopulation of adult Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horses and to summarize these traits through calculated scores (PCA eigenvectors) to later compare with the scores obtained by these animals during the act of registration. Forty-six morphometric traits were used, which included the 12 mandatory measures of the definitive genealogical registration and two of these new ones: “triangle” and the […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate behavior of sheep and to relate behavioral aspects with breed and age of animals. It was observed 5,971 animals distributed in 181 plots regarded to: breed – Corriedale (n=2,731), Ideal (n=1,574), Merino (n=168), Texel (n=717), Suffolk (n=247) and six crossbreds (n=534); age – yearlings (1.5 year, n=3,021), ewes (above 1.5 year, n =2,457) and lambs (average 6 months of age, n=493). Average behavior of plots was evaluated by attributing scores of movement […]
