Abstract

Were studied the morphologic differences of 90 sheeps original Alcarreñas of three different geographicalzones from the region of Alcarria. A High zone placed to the North-East (NE) of the regionwith proximity to mounts and steep zones, a Low zone, placed to the southwest (SO) with level surfacesand wealth of natural resources and an Average intermediate zone between both. We found significantdifferences (p <0,05) in several morphologic measures and in all the zoometric parameters.For the cocksfoot thoracic index and the load of the cane, the animals of the low zone obtain minorspercentages that those of the high lands (47,60 % vs 64,08 % IT, 32,86 % vs 40,31 % IDC and 12,74 %vs 15,87 % CC), nevertheless for the pelvic index (81,62 % vs 77,06 %), the relative weight (89,39 % vs73,91 %), the relative depth of the thorax (91,80 % vs 46,95 %) these obtain major percentages thatthose of the high lands. In conclusion, we find important differences between the studied sheeps proceedingfrom the different geographical zones, the sheeps of the high lands (NE) have major appealand are longer but less heavy and narrow than those of the low zones
