| Abstract: | Measuring subsection body measurements of Thoroughbred×Yili horses,Orlov trotter×Yili horses,Russia trotter×Yili horses and Hanoverian horse,and calculated the proportion and index,analysing differences in each body measurement,index and proportion.The results showed that the body height,body length,chest circumference,cannon bone circumference,neck length,humerus length,back length,lumbar spine,rump length,rump high,thighbone length and tibiae length of Thoroughbred×Yili horses,Orlov trotter×Yili horses and Russia trotter×Yili horses were extremely significantly lower than Hanoverian horse (P<0.01),the trunk index of Thoroughbred×Yili horse was significantly higher than Orlov trotter×Yili horses (P<0.05),the humerus length/back length,thighbone length/back length and tibiae length/back length of Thoroughbred×Yili horses,Orlov trotter×Yili horses and Russia trotter×Yili horses were extremely significantly lower than Hanoverian horse (P<0.01),all body measurements of Orlov trotter×Yili horses had no significant difference with Russia trotter×Yili horses (P>0.05).The experiment results showed that the difference in body structure of horses for different uses could provide data reference for breeding these horses. |
