A comparative morphometric study on the skull of the Tuj and Morkaraman sheep

This study was undertaken to reveal morphometric skull features of the Tuj and Morkaraman sheep. The skulls of 10 months old 6 male Tuj and 6 male Morkaraman sheep were used. A number of 38 craniometric measurements were taken from skulls of both species. Craniofacial indices were also calculated. T...

Zusammenfassung:This study was undertaken to reveal morphometric skull features of the Tuj and Morkaraman sheep. The skulls of 10 months old 6 male Tuj and 6 male Morkaraman sheep were used. A number of 38 craniometric measurements were taken from skulls of both species. Craniofacial indices were also calculated. There were no significant differences determined between the heads of these species except the measurement which displayed the width between the two orbita (entorbitale ­entorbitale=least breadth between the orbits), P< 0.05. The least breadth between the orbits of 66.58±2.263 mm in Tuj sheep and, 70.41±2.538 mm in Morkaraman sheep were obtained. Bu çalışma, Tuj ve Morkaraman koyunlarının kafatası yapıları arasındaki muhtemel farklılıkları ortaya koymak için yapıldı. 10 aylık yaşta 6 erkek Tuj ve 6 erkek Morkaraman koyunu kullanıldı. Bu amaçla, her iki hayvana ait kafataslarının 38 farklı yerinden craniometric ölçümler alındı ve craniofacial indeksler hesaplandı. Orbita'lar arası en küçük genişlik (entorbitale-entorbitale) dışındaki ölçümlerde iki tür arasında kayda değer bir farklılık elde edilemedi (P< 0.05). Orbita'lar arası en küçük genişlik, Tuj koyununda ortalama 66.58±2.263 mm, Morkaraman koyununda ise 70.41±2.538 mm olarak ölçüldü.
