Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Morphology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Morphometric studies on Lidia cattle are limited due to handling challenges.
  • Photogrammetry offers a novel approach for characterizing this breed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct the first morphological characterization of the Lidia cattle breed.
  • To analyze morphostructural harmony, sexual dimorphism, and internal variability within the breed.

Main Methods:

  • Photogrammetry was employed to study 264 adult Lidia cattle (184 males, 80 females) from 21 herds.
  • Twenty morphological measurements and five indexes were recorded for each individual.

Main Results:

  • High positive correlations indicated morphostructural harmony.
  • Significant sexual dimorphism and internal variations between genetic lines were observed.
  • Lidia cattle are small, predominantly sub-concave in profile, with males showing muscular anterior development and high thoracic capacity.

Conclusions:

  • This photogrammetric study successfully characterized Lidia cattle morphology.
  • The breed exhibits notable sexual dimorphism and internal variability, crucial for conservation and breeding programs.
