Caracterización Fenotípica y Sistema de Producción de los Ovinos Criollos Negros en la Estación Experimental Añamoyocancha

Abstract

This Research Was Carried Out With The Purpose to Determine The Physical and Productive Characteristics Of Creole Black Sheep Because There Is Not Information Or Research About Those. The Main Goal Is to Determine The Different PhenotyPic Characteristics and Indexes Zoometrics of Creole Black Sheep in the Aña-Moyocancha Experimental Station. For This Research Work, It Was Necessary To Use The Descriptive Statistical Method. This research was done in the aña-moyocancha experimental station, which is located to 3600 m, belonging to the tixán parish, alausí Canton, Chimborazo Province; wheres Zoometry Measurements Were Taken to 98 Animals; Which Were Classified by Sex and Categories. Female Breeding Recorded In Average to Head Length of 24 cm., Head Width 13.49 cm., Body Length of 83.75 cm., Rump Width of 17.6 cm., Rump Length of 21.8 Weight 26.13, Staple Length 12.7 cm., Corrugations / Inch 2.2, and Diameter of 43.7 Microns Wool. In Sheep There Was a Average Length of Head 24.5cm., Head Width 14 cm., Body Length 79.5 cm., Rump Width 15.18 cm., Rump Length of 21.5 cm., Per Staple Length 13.7 cm., Corrugations / Inch 2 and Diameter of 47 Microns Wool. The Color Varies from Black, Ash, Purple and Bicolor Wool. The Highest Weights Recorded Were in Femal. The Animals Stay Together and They Are Not By Categories Bred. The Conclusion is That The Breeding Animals Are Not by Category, All of Them Stay Together and They Eat On Natural Pastures. IT Recommend Mintaining and Improving The Breeding Animals by Category.
