Phenotypic Characterization of Creole Cattle in the Andean Highlands Using Bio-Morphometric Measures and Zoometric Indices

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

The conservation of cattle biotypes as a source of biodiversity that can be used in maintaining their function in different environments is crucial. The present research has been designed to characterize for the first time the bio-morphometric characteristics of the Andean Creole cattle in order to objectively determine their zoometric indices. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that the Andean Creole cattle biotypes were defined as dual-purpose. Based on this information, it was possible to define the potential productive aptitude of Andean Creole cattle to generate the theoretical basis for future research and genetic characterization.

Abstract

Several Creole cattle biotypes can be found in the Andean highlands, and most of them are considere
