In order to study the growth and development of Pinannan cattle, 321 adult Pinannan cattle were measured in a yellow cattle farm in Xinye County, Henan Province, and 8 traits of body weight and body size were selected for correlation and principal component analysis. The results showed as follows: the body weight of Pinan cattle was significantly correlated with the increase of body length, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, canal circumference, cross height and body length (P < 0.01); According to the eigenvector and contribution rate of principal component, principal component 1 reflected the overall appearance structure information of Pinan cattle, and the second principal component reflected the characteristics of Shiribe.This study provided the basis for clarifying the physique and appearance characteristics of Pinan cattle and breeding idea. |
