Thise study was carried out to investigate the performances of body measurements of Cheju Na-tive Horses as one of researches for the registration. A total of the 1646 records was used in this study. The results were as follows;
Among the estimates of body measurements, all the least squares means of the body measurments, except chest width, of Nam-cheju province were greater than those of any other province. there were significant differences at 1% level between the least squares means of body measurements of Cheju city and those of Sam-cheju province for the traits of withers height, back height, croup height, body length and chest girth. For the sex effects on the measurements the estimates of female for the chest girth, chest depth, chest width, thud width, rump width, and body length were significantly greater than those of male at 1% level. But for the estimates of face length and shin circumference, the male esimates were greater than those of female significantly at 1% level. All the body estimates at the age of 5 years were the greatest of all the estimates at the various stages of age. After the age of 5, the body size showed the trend of decrease. The least squares means of body measurements at the age of 5 were 125.66cm, 121.93cm, 127.1 lcm, 149.20cm 60.12cm. 30.32cm, 39.68cm. 43.79cm, 39.69cm, 128.13cm, 48.27cm and 16.68cm for the withers height, back height, croup height. chest girth, chest depth, chest width, thurl width, rump width, rump length, face length, and shin circumference, respectively. In the ratios of the esitmates of the body measurements at 5 years old to those of yearling, the estimates of withers height, back height, croup height, and face length increased at the range of 10.48 to 12.41%. The estimates of chest girth, cheat depth, chest width, thurl width, and rump width were somewhat heighly increased at the range 21.12% to 38.01%.
