Pelagem dos equinos: proncipais categorias e tipos nas raças e ecótipos localmente adaptados no Brasil

Abstract

The horse is a mammal of the order of Ungulates belonging to the species Equus caballus. Since domestication, the horse has been used for transport, traction, work in the field and in wars. Currently, the horse is considered a companion animal, used in sport and leisure activities. The present objective study concentrates information on the genetic characteristics that determine the coat in the equine species, the main aspects related to the classification and type that determine the coat pattern in locally adapted equine evidence in Brazil. It was developed through the theoretical references the theories relevant to the Review of Specialized Literature. For this, publications were selected and reviewed as a proposed theme in books, publications, dissertations, scientific articles, journals, specialized websites, among others. Thus, the study will be systematized in an integrative way, based on evidence and synthesis of results. As stated above, the phenotypic characteristics that express the categories and types of coats in the equine species also extend to the breeds and ecotypes of locally adapted Brazilian horses. Animals that are presented by other animals are used in proofs, side by side, which ensure that the animals show characteristics and well patterned by other animals are presented by other animals, which are used in proofs, side by side, which are certain animals of the breed to be judged
