| Popis: | The morphometric characterisation of indigenous taurine breeds of cattle in their natural environment was undertaken in three agroecological zones of Cameroon. Descriptive traits for 97 animals, such as sex, age, coat colour, skin pigmentation, ear shape, and temperament, were observed visually and recorded for each breed identified. Biometric information was got by measuring body parts such as live weight (LW), body length (BoL), ear length (EL), head length (HL), heart girth (HG), neck length (NL), horn length (HoL), height at wither (HW) and thigh diameter (TD). There was a strong association (P |
