| dc.description.abstract | The survey was conducted for Red Kandhari cattle, for research entitled “Studies on Morphometric Characteristics of Red Kandhari Cattle in Nanded District” In total, data on body measurements of 1500 Red Kandhari individuals were collected by taking actual measurements of each individuals in 20 villages from four tahsils of Nanded districts. The results obtained from this investigation found that the body measurement in Red Kandhari cattle at 0 to 3 months, 4 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months, breeding bull, more than 36 months bull / bullock and more than 36 months cow for chest girth were 71.91 ± 0.40, 105.14 ± 0.40, 121.36 ± 0.43, 141.03 ± 0.40, 190.59 ± 1.34, 177.46 ± 0.47 and 159.72 ± 0.35 cm, for body length were 61.15 ± 0.35, 87.68 ± 0.63, 106.22 ± 0.38, 129.39 ± 0.35, 164.77 ± 1.43, 155.02 ± 0.38 and 144.70 ± 0.33 cm and for height were 67.83 ± 0.39, 95.50 ± 0.67,114.18 ± 0.40, 135.70 ± 0.37, 176.75 ± 1.33, 164.51 +.0.43 and 151.88 ± 0.33 cm, respectively, for face were 27.97 ± 0.19, 35.71 ± 0.19, 39.87 ± 0.19,47.30 ± 0.13,54.09 ± 0.47, 50.97 ± 0.15 and 53.30 ± 0.10 cm and for tail were 35.12 ± 0.34, 41.51 ± 0.22, 53.16 ± 0.23, 65.39 ± 0.21, 90.09 ± 0.75, 76.55 ± 0.15 and 83.49 ± 0.15 cm, respectively, for ear were 11.45 ± 0.14,14.38 ± 0.12, 21.05 ± 0.12, 25.79 ± 0.16, 31.72 ± 0.24, 29.11 ± 0.11 and 30.38 ± 0.08 cm and for hom were 8.24 ± 0.09, 15.07 ± 0.21, 5.96 ± 0.15, 27.39 ± 0.13 and 16.50 ± 0.15. cm, respectively. The body weights in Red Kandhari cattle at 0 to 3 months, 4 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months, breeding bull, more than 36 months bull / bullock and more than 36 months cow were 29.38 ± 0.46, 90.14 ± 1.33, 145.23 ± 1.54, 238.57 ± 2.02, 552.38 + 12.53,454.14 + 3.37 and 341.58 ± 2.26 kg, respectively. In Red Kandhari cattle Brick red colour was predominant (52.73%) followed by Dark red (43.46%) and Black shades on NST (3.80%). On the basis of the findings given above it is concluded that the geo-ecological situation of the tract and management practices followed plays its role. Preferential treatment of males, developmental defects in male and female characters warrant significant attention on both front i.e. care and management and selective breeding in future. Larger population size will be essential aspect of future studies. | en_US |
