Malaklı Karabaş köpeklerde bazı morfolojik ve genetik özellikler

Abstract

This study was aimed at determining the morphological and genetic traits of Malaklı Karabash dogs in Turkey. Body weight, head and body measurements were taken from eighteen months of age and older, of total 277 dogs (77 female and 200 male). The statistically values (X±SE) on sex groups (female and male, respectively) for body weight (kg), and for head meaures enclosed head length, face length, ear length, ear width, ears interval, eyes interval, muzzle circumference measures (cm) were detected 53.20±1.01, 62.29±0.68; 30.92±0.24, 32.98±0.18; 11.80±0.15, 12.55±0.09; 16.73±0.26, 17.67±0.17; 13.96±0.26, 14.78±0.18; 17.95±0.35, 18.77±0.19; 5.63±0.12, 5.99±0.10; 29.67±0.28, 32.17±0.22 respectively. The statistic values (X±SE) for Malaklı female and male dogs for body measurements enclosed height at withers, rump height, body length, chest width, chest depth, heart girth, front and hind cannon bone circumference, tail length measures (cm) were found 72.98±0.49, 78.36±0.31; 72.87±0.53, 78.65±0.34; 79.02±0.62, 82.68±0.60; 24.76±0.35, 26.68±0.20; 30.86±0.26, 33.73±0.44; 84.47±0.71, 89.89±0.76; 14.71±0.12, 15.76±0.08; 13.90±0.16, 14.76±0.08; 51.36±0.83, 54.76±0.45, respectively. For genetic analysis a blood samples were taken from 212 non-relative dogs from a total 277 dogs used in this study. The results of the analysis for FIS, FIT, FST values, heterozygosity (He) and Tajima Neutrality Test were found to be 0.0184, 0.0209, 0.0025; 0.797 and 1.808, respectively. A020 (18.9%) and B001 (35.2%) haplotypes in Malaklı Karabash population were found to be the highest
