Abstract
There are increasing demands for the producing and breeding new domestic riding horses for the vitalizations of horse riding industry in Korea, according as 'Horse Industry Support Act' became. In this study, we were to develop the functional relation through the conformation comparison & body composition analysis. 76 heads of 5 breeds utilized for riding horses in Korea were used and their body measurements on 12 items were measured and cluster analysis was conducted to determine the correlation relation among them. The measurements were standardized that (height, croup height, pelvis length), and (hip width, width of pelvis) were highly correlated. In these results of the decision tree, we confirmed to classify the breed type determination by their body measurements (hip height, hip width, head length, croup height). This result can be used as basic data for the development of horse type determination (racing, riding, Riding for the Disabled, Working, or fattening) through the analysis of body composition, and be utilized as the basic data for the producing and breeding new domestic riding horses through the 3D Stereosocpic image system analyze.
'말산업육성법' 제정에 따라 국내 승마산업의 저변확대를 위해 자질이 우수한 국내산 승용마 생산 및 개량에 대한 연구가 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국내에서 승용마로 활용되고 있는 3품종 (웜블러드, 더러브렛, 제주산마) 32두에 대해 12항목의 체형을 측정하여, 측정자료를 바탕으로 판별분석을 실시한 결과 81.3%가 정확하게 분류되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 체구성 분석을 통한 말의 유형 (경주마, 승용마, 재활치료마, 역용마, 비육마) 및 승용마 외모 심사를 판단하는 모형 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 것이며 이는 향후 3D 영상촬영측정치를 활용한 한국형 승용마 생산 및 개량화 연구에 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
