dc.description.abstract | In the breeding program of breeds such as the Pura Raza Español horse, selection by
gait quality is of great interest because of their use for dressage performance. However,
biokinematic analyses are expensive and data processing is time consuming. So, indirect
measurements related to movement quality are alternatively used for a precocious selection
of the animals. The aim of this study is to estimate the genetic correlations between 13
conformation measurements and 16 biokinematic variables at trot (4 linear, 6 temporal and
6 angular) in order to identify objective selection criteria for locomotion ability. A total of
130 Pura Raza Español horses from 24 studs, aged between 4-7 years old, were measured
and their biokinematic variables were obtained in experimental conditions on a treadmill.
There were 155 significant genetic correlations between conformation and biokinematic
traits. Croup length was the most correlated trait with biokinematic variables at trot (16), and
croup width was the least correlated one (7). Forelimb length and forelimb duration were the
most correlated with conformation measurements (12), whereas minimal angle of carpus was
the least correlated one (5). All the conformation measurements were genetically correlated
with biokinematic variables, and through these relationships when trotting, a total of 6 body
measurements were selected for the indirect and precocious selection of gait quality, which
could be included directly or combined in body indices | es |
