Popis: Morphometric characterization of three strains: Dub, Privor and Kupres was done in order to obtain the genetic characterization of autochthonous sheep strains in Central Bosnia. Total of 205 ewes and rams was measured in order to determine similarities and differences between them. The eight, most important, morphometric trait were determined: wither height, rump height, body length, shoulder width, chest depth, hip width, chest perimeter and shin perimeter. Ewes of Dub Pramenka in relation to Privor and Kupres strains had pronounced morphometric measures, and established differences were statistically significant and highly significant. Statistically significant differences in all measures was observed between rams, expect for hip width. The obtained results show a significant difference in morphometric measures of three autochthonous Pramenka strains from Central Bosnia.
