Özet

This research was aimed to determine morphometric characterization according to body measurement of water buffalo in Turkey. This study was done Afyon, Corum, Tokat, Balikesir, Samsun and Sakarya province. Total 793 water buffalo were used study and all animals were grouped by gender, age and province. Eleven body measurements were taken from all animals. Morphometric characterization was done based on these measurements for all animals. Withers height, rump height, body length and chest circumference were measured 137.3 +/- 0.6, 132.9 +/- 0.6, 135.4 +/- 0.8 and 201.3 +/- 1.4 cm respectively for four years and older female animal. Similarly the same measurements of body were measured 131.6 +/- 0.6, 129.9 +/- 1.5, and 111.2 +/- 2.9 and 174.7 +/- 4.9 cm respectively for three years male animal. Gender ad age factor were found statistically important for all body measurements (P<0.01). Furthermore, there were detected some important different according to province for some body measurements (P<0.05).
