The main somatometric characteristics of 15 Sardinian breed adult donkeys (6 male and 9 female) were studied. Analysis of the somatic measurements and zoometric indexes show subjects of small build of a mesomorph constitutional type. Dimorphism between the sexes is slight and is limited to the rump area. The number of donkeys still to be found in Sardinia is greatly reduced and urgent measures are needed to safeguard its animal genetic resource.
对15头撒丁岛品种成年驴(6头雄性和9头雌性)的主要身体测量特征进行了研究。对身体测量和动物测量指标的分析表明,这些研究对象体型较小,属于中胚层体质类型。两性之间的二态性很轻微,仅限于臀部区域。撒丁岛现存的驴数量大幅减少,需要采取紧急措施来保护其动物遗传资源。
