Le Niger, compte environ 43 millions de tetes de betail dont 36% de caprins. La chevre Rousse de Maradi se distingue par ses remarquables performances zootechniques. La chevre Noire partageant le meme biotope est discriminee. La presente etude a pour objectif de comparer les caracteristiques morphobiometriques de la chevre Rousse de Maradi et sa variante Noire vivant dans la meme zone agro-ecologique. Ainsi, 144 caprins ont ete choisis au hasard dans 11 villages/sites repartis dans 5 departements de la region de Maradi. Les caracteres quantitatifs mesures etaient : hauteur au garrot et a la croupe, tour de poitrine, longueur du corps, des oreilles, du cou et des cornes, largeur du bassin et profondeur de la poitrine. Les caracteres qualitatifs apprecies etaient: ports d’oreilles, cornes, barbiche et pampille, longueur et type de poils et patrons pigmentaires. Il est ressorti qu’il n’existe aucune difference significative au seuil de 5% entre les deux types pour tous les parametres quantitatifs sauf pour la longueur des cornes. Pour les traits qualitatifs, la chevre Rousse possede majoritairement des oreilles dressees (87,9%), absence de barbiche et pampille, pelage ras et lisse. On note une absence de barbiche et pampille, des poils ras et lisses, un profil de tete rectiligne chez les deux types de caprins tandis qu’on observe des cornes ibex chez la Rousse et des cornes markhar chez la Noire. Cette etude a montre que les robes rousses et noires de la chevre de Maradi ne constituent qu’une diversite dans la meme race caprine.

English Title: Comparative study of morphobiometric characteristics of Red and Black Maradi goats in Niger: analysis of quantitative and qualitative parameters Niger has about 43 million head of farm animals and goats numerically represent 36%. The Red goat of Maradi is appreciated for its outstanding zootechnical performances compared to its Black variant. The objective of this study is to compare the morphobiometric characteristics of the red goat Maradi and its black variant sharing the same agro-ecological zone. Thus, 144 goats were randomly selected in 11 villages/sites located in 5 departments of Maradi administrative region. Quantitative parameters measured were: Height at the withers and rump, Chest circumference, Body length, ears, neck and horns, Basin Width and Chest Depth. The qualitative characteristics appreciated were: ears, horns, goatee and tassel, length and type of hair and pigment patterns. It was found that there is no significant difference at the 5% threshold between the two types for all quantitative parameters except for horn length. For all quantitative parameters, no significant difference was found at 5% threshold between Red and Black goat of Maradi except horn length. For qualitative traits, the red goat has mostly erect ears (87.9%). For both types of goats, there is an absence of goatee and tassel, short and smooth hairs, a straight head profile. It was noted ibex horns in Red goat and markhar horns in the Black goat. This study showed that the Red and Black coat colors of the Maradi goat are variants of a same goat breed. Keywords : Red goat, Black goat, morphobiometric characteristics, Maradi, Niger.
