The effect of breed on body indices in draft horses in Czech Republic
Original language description
Growth of cold-blooded horses is rarely monitored, but the numbers of horses of breeds bred in Czech Republic are rapidly decreasing. Body indices are useful tools to monitor and evaluate horses' built and quality of growth. Thirteen body measurements of horses on four farms were taken every three months (227 sets of measurements) and five hippometric indices were calculated for 3 draft horses breeds: Czech-Moravian Belgian (CMB), Noriker (N) and Silesian Noriker (SN). The effect of breed on these indices was analyzed. The index of compactness (CI) and massiveness (MI) showed as affected by breed (p<0.001), when the value 114.17 of CI was significantly the lowest in SN and value 123.78 of MI was significantly the highest in N. The index of boniness (p<0.1) and skeletal strength (p<0.1) indicated statistical significance of breed effect. The index of body frame didn't prove statistically significant effect of breed at all (p>0.05). Populations of these horses are small, with more data would be possible to get clearer results and analysis of the effect of age would be a viable option.
