Abstract
Abstract This study presents selected craniometric measurements compared to the thickness of the frontal bone of the domestic horse. The study was carried out on 10 domestic horse skulls from the collection of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. On the basis of the results obtained, correlation was carried out according to Pearson’s method, and a trend graph was created, showing the relationship of individual values to frontal bone thickness. The present research is a preliminary study, and further research, based on a larger study group, can help minimize their suffering. According to the study, the greatest positive correlation and relationship is shown by the length between the alveolar borders of the third incisor, while a negative correlation was found for the width of the cerebrocranium. In the future, it is possible to develop a formula to estimate the thickness of the frontal bone in horses.
