Abstract

This study was conducted to compare and evaluate some body measurements of Kangal Dog and Aksaray Malakli Dog breeds. The study group consist of dogs with an age range from 2 to 5 years. Samples for Kangal dogs were obtained from Sivas and for Aksaray Malakli dogs from Aksaray province. Observations from ten dogs from both species (5 male and 5 female), in total 20 adult dogs were used for this study. Some of the morphological characteristics as black mask around the head, cream fur colour and holding spiral tail were found evident for Kangal dogs while in all Aksaray Malakli dogs the head and body size, thimbleful black mask around the head, and 6 th nail existence were determined as descriptive differences between the genotypes. While the effect of gender on muzzle length, body index and bone index was not found to be significant, it was found significant for other body measurements. The rump lengths in male Aksaray Malakli dogs were significantly larger than male Kangal dogs (P<0.001). However, this trait was not significant for female dogs. This can be associated with the significant interaction between breed and gender (P<0.01). Body index also showed the same trend. Also, withers height and head circumference traits were found significant (P<0.001) for male and female Aksaray Malakli dogs and for male and female Kangal dogs (P<0.01). This can be a reason for the significant interaction between breed and gender. As a conclusion, although there are some phenotypic similarities between Kangal and Aksaray Malakli dogs, obtained body measurements showed significant differences. Furthermore, Aksaray Malakli dogs tend to have bigger body structure than Kangal dogs.
比较Aksaray Malakli和Kangal狗的各种身体测量
本研究比较和评价了康加尔犬和阿克萨雷马拉克利犬的一些身体测量值。研究小组由年龄在2到5岁之间的狗组成。Kangal犬的样本来自Sivas, Aksaray Malakli犬的样本来自Aksaray省。本研究使用了来自两个物种的10只狗(5只公狗和5只母狗),总共20只成年狗进行观察。康加尔犬的一些形态特征,如头部周围的黑色面罩、奶油色的皮毛和卷曲的尾巴,在所有的Aksaray Malakli犬中,头部和身体的大小、头部周围的微小黑色面罩和第6个指甲的存在被确定为基因型之间的描述性差异。虽然性别对口吻长度、身体指数和骨骼指数的影响并不显著,但对其他身体指标的影响却很显著。雄性Aksaray Malakli犬的臀部长度显著大于雄性Kangal犬(P<0.001)。然而,这一特征在母狗身上并不显著。这与品种和性别间极显著的交互作用有关(P<0.01)。身体指数也呈现出同样的趋势。雌雄Aksaray Malakli犬和雌雄Kangal犬的肩胛骨高度和头围性状差异均极显著(P<0.001)。这可能是品种和性别之间显著相互作用的原因。综上所述,尽管Kangal和Aksaray Malakli狗之间存在一些表型上的相似性,但获得的身体测量结果显示出显著差异。此外,Aksaray Malakli犬往往比Kangal犬拥有更大的身体结构。
