Özet
Sheep breeding has an important place in the world and in Turkey, as sheep are farm animals that provide most of their nutritional needs from pasture, have good adaptability and are low in cost. Akkaraman sheep and the Kangal Akkaraman sheep, which was considered its sub-variety until 2012, constitute half of the sheep population in Turkey. In this study, morphometric diversity between the skulls of Akkaraman and Kangal Akkaraman breed sheep was examined by geometric morphometric method. 2D images obtained from 3D models of 24 male sheep skulls from two different provinces were analyzed using 10 landmarks from dorsal and lateral views. The results from the dorsal view, the first three principal components (PC1, PC2 and PC3) accounted for a total of 64.13% of the morphological variation and the largest changes in are associated with external occipital protuberance, midline nasofrontal suture and rostral edge of the incisive fissure. From the lateral view, three first principal components explained the morphological variation 27.56%, 22.32% and 10.65% respectively. In the comparison of the skull morphology of Akkaraman and Kangal Akkaraman sheep from dorsal and lateral views, no allometric components were identified, as most of the described shape variations were not size-dependent. As a result of these analyses, more detailed information was obtained about the shape differences of the skull. Geometric morphometric analysis is successful in detecting differences in skull shape of different sheep breeds and can be successfully used for classification.
