Demographic, Genealogical and morphological characterization of Pantelleria donkey

A demographic, genetic and morphologi­cal evaluation on Pantelleria donkey's population was carried out to give a con­tribution for the exploitation of this old donkey breed.

The inbreeding of the population (Fwhole population = 0.4 %) resulted very low than the expectations; therefore, the inbreeding coefficients resul­ted low in the males F male, = 0.9 % and in the females Ffemale = 0.0 %. On the other hand, the mean relationship among the 378 couplings resulted very high a1j = 15,1 %. The morphological study was carried out on 20 subjects. For each animal the most important morphologic…
