VANJŠTINA DALMATINSKE PRAMENKE

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi odlike vanjštine i razvijenosti tjelesnog okvira ovaca i ovnova dalmatinske pramenke. U tu svrhu su na području Zadarske i Šibensko-kninske županije provedene komisijske prosudbe vanjštine i pojedinačna mjerenja ovaca različite dobi, spola i tjelesne razvijenosti. Istraživanjem je bilo obuhvaćeno ukupno 626 grla, od toga 93 šilježice prosječne dobi 12 mjeseci, 103 mlade ovce u dobi između 2 i 3,5 godine, 420 odraslih ovaca u dobi iznad 3,5 godina te 10 ovnova. Ocjenjivanje se sastojalo od subjektivne komisijske prosudbe vanjštine, procjene dobi ovaca po zubima, uzimanja pojedinačnih tjelesnih mjera Lydtinovim štapom i mjernom vrpcom te vaganja. Mjerenja su obuhvaćala utvrđivanje visine do grebena, dužine trupa, širine, dubine i opsega prsa, opsega cjevanice te tjelesne mase grla. Dobiveni rezultati statistički su obrađeni primjenom procedure MEANS statističkog paketa SAS (2001). Prosječna visina grebena odraslih, tjelesno potpuno razvijenih ovaca dalmatinske pramenke bila je 57,77 cm, dužina trupa 64,88 cm, širina prsa 17,82 cm, dubina prsa 28,44 cm, opseg prsa 81,8 cm, opseg cjevanice 7,51 cm i tjelesna masa 38,56 kg. Prema utvrđenim podatcima dalmatinska pramenka se svrstava u sitnije ili mediteranske pasmine ovaca. Šilježice su imale u prosjeku 94,85% visine grebena i 95,29% dužine trupa odraslih ovaca te 81,56% završne tjelesne mase. Utvrđen je značajan utjecaj spola na razvijenost tjelesnog okvira dalmatinske pramenke pa su ovnovi bili znatno razvijeniji od ovaca.
The aim of this research was to determine exterior characteristics of Dalmatian Pramenka ewes and rams, using a commission evaluation and body measurements. The research was conducted in Zadarska and Šibensko-kninska Counties and evaluation and measuring of exterior of sheep of different categories, gender and body development were performed. Thus, totally 626 Dalmatian Pramenka sheep were and divided into age groups according to the teeth: 93 ewe hoggets about 12 months old; 103 young sheep between 2 and 3.5 years old; 420 adult ewes older than 3.5 years; and 10 adult rams. The evaluation was combined of subjective commission assessment of exterior, determining the age according to the teeth, measuring each animal with Lydtin stick and measuring tape and weighing. The measuring included height of withers, length of the trunk, width of the chest, depth of the chest, circumference of the chest, circumference of the leg and body weight determination. Data were analyzed using procedure MEANS of SAS statistical package. The average height of withers of adult Dalmatian Pramenka ewes was 57.77 cm, the length of the trunk 64.88 cm, the width of the chest 17.82 cm, the depth of the chest 28.44 cm, the circumference of the chest 81.8 cm, the circumference of the leg 7.51 cm and body weight 38.56 kg. According to this data, Dalmatian Pramenka is assorted to small, Mediterranean sheep breeds. Ewe hoggets had 94.85% of adult sheep's height of withers, 95.29% of adult sheep's length of the trunk and 81.56% of their final body weight. A significant influence of the sex on body development was determined, so the rams of Dalmatian Pramenka were more developed than the ewes.
