researches regarding morphologic features in some goat populations from the south of romania

The paper studied some morphologic features in four goat populations located in the Southern Romania., having as final aim the study of their genetic potential for different productions. There were analyzed males, females and young individuals in two breeds, Carpathian breed and Banat White, reared in different areas, with different rearing and environmental conditions. There were made body weight and body size measurements at different ages with the aid of the specific method. The recorded data were statistically processed. The results reveal the fact that the Banat White population is taller and longer than the Carpathian population, with a typical dolicomorph body shape, specific to the dairy populations, with a higher genetic potential straighten to the milk production.
