dc.description.abstract | Hair whorls are a hereditary feature in horses that may be associated with temperament
and coat color. Hair whorls are described as changes in the hair pattern and may take various forms,
such as circular and linear whorls. We first carried out a frequency analysis of hair whorls (circular
and linear). Next, a Generalized Non-Linear Model was computed to assess the significance of
some potential influencing factors, and a genetic parameter estimation was performed. ENDOG
software v4.8 was used to estimate the inbreeding coefficient of all the animals analyzed. It was more
common to find horses with circular hair whorls than with linear whorls. The heritability ranges
obtained were, in general, medium-high for both circular whorls (0.20 to 0.90) and linear whorls (0.44
to 0.84). High positive correlations were found on the between left and right positions, indicating a
tendency to symmetry in certain locations. The laterality of hair whorls was also evidenced, with
the biggest concentration on the left-hand side, particularly in gray horses, showing circular whorls
below the central line of eyes, which has been associated in a previous paper with a calmer and more
docile temperament. | es |
