Characterisation of Indian Kathiawari horses

Abstract: SummaryThe breeding tract of Kathiawari horses is the Saurashtra region of Gujrat, comprising of the Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Surendranagar, Junagarh and Amreli districts. Kathiawari horses are reared for carting, riding, sports and transportation. The breed is closely related with the Marwari breed of Rajasthan. The most predominant body colour is chestnut in Kathiawari horses and black in Marwari horses. The capital nags of the Kathiawari breed are from 14 to 14.5 HH, sound, sure footed and hardy, fast and decided… Show more

“…Most of the early information on phenotypic characterization is confined mainly to Marwari, Kathiawari and Spiti breeds (Pundir et al, 1997;Pundir, 2001Pundir, , 2004Singh, Yadav and Mehta, 2002a, b). Further detailed studies on high-quality phenotypes can also give direct insight into genetic quality of these highly structured populations.…”
