Bu çalışma ile Anadolu'da süs ve dalgıç güvercini olarak yetiştirilmek üzere tercih edilen Bango, Mısıri ve Baska güvercinlerinin morfolojik ve morfometrik özelliklerinin belirlenmesini amaçlanmıştır. Güvercinlerin yaşları 12-24 aylık (yaş grubu I), 25-36 aylık (yaş grubu II), 37-48 aylık (yaş grubu III) ve 48 aylık ve üzeri olarak (yaş grubu IV) dört gruba ayrılmıştır. Bu üç güvercin genotipi kısa gagalı ve küçük vücut yapısına sahip kuş grubuna dahil edilmiştir. Vücut ağırlığı, baş uzunluğu-genişliği, gaga uzunluğuderinliği, göğüs derinliği-genişliği, göğüs çevresi, kuyruk ve vücut uzunluğu, kanat açıklığı-uzunluğu, tarsus çapı açısından genotipler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir (p≤0.01). Güvercinlerin vücut tüy rengi göz önüne alındığında Mısıri ve Bango güvercinleri daha benzer görünüm gösterirken Baska güvercinleri her iki genotipten farklı bir görünüme sahiptir. Türkiye yerli gen kaynaklarının korunması amacıyla bu üç güvercin genotipinin ivedilikle koruma altına alınması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.

Genetic Animal Heritage of Anatolia: Short-beaked Pigeon Genotypes

Öz

This study aimed to determine the morphological and morphometric characteristics of Bango, Mısıri and Baska pigeons, which have been preferred to breed as ornamental and diver pigeons in Anatolia. The ages of the pigeons were classified into four groups: 12-24 months of age (age group I), 25-36 months of age (age group II), 37-48 months of age (age group III), and 48 months of age and over (age group IV). These three pigeon genotypes were included in the bird group with short beak and small body structure. There were statistically significant differences among the genotypes in terms of body weight, head length-width, beak length-depth, chest depth-width, thoracic perimeter, tail and body length, wing span-length, tarsus diameter (p≤0.01). Considering the body plumage color of pigeons, Mısıri and Bango pigeons show more similar appearance, however Baska pigeons has a different appearance from both genotypes. However, it is thought that it would be appropriate to evaluate morphological data together with genetic analysis. We think that these three pigeon genotypes should be taken under immediate protection in order to protect the domestic gene resources of Turkey.
