Objectif: Cette etude vise a contribuer a la connaissance des caracteristiques phenotypiques du taurin Kouri du Niger. Methodologie et resultats: Les caracteristiques phenotypiques du taurin Kouri du Niger ont fait l’objet d’une etude conduite dans la region de Diffa au niveau des sites situes aux alentours de Kinjandi dans la commune de Gueskerou et au Centre Secondaire de Multiplication du Betail de Sayam. Des mensurations ont ete effectuees directement sur des animaux et ont permis d’enregistrer des parametres quantitatifs. Des parametres qualitatifs ont ete renseignes sur la base de l’observation des animaux. Un total de 475 animaux (423 femelles, 36 mâles entiers et 16 mâles castres) âges d’au moins 4 ans a ete concerne par l’etude. Les moyennes des parametres phenotypiques quantitatifs suivants ont ete notees : Hauteur au garrot (HG) : 125,65±6,08 cm ; Perimetre thoracique (PT) : 157,95±10 cm ; Hauteur au sacrum (HS) : 133,50±6,10 cm ; Largeur aux ischions (LI) : 14,41±2,75. Des differences significatives ont ete observees entre les sexes. Le PT est le parametre le plus correle au poids avec un coefficient de correlation de 0,843. Trois modeles barymetriques sont proposes et ont permis de noter des coefficients d’ajustement de R 1 2 =0,79 ; R 2 2 = 0,74 et R 3 2 = 0,71. Les parametres phenotypiques qualitatifs ont fait ressortir un profil rectiligne dominant (85,86%) ; des oreilles a orientation laterale (99,79 %) ; des cornes presentes (97,89%) et fixees (97,41%), un dos rectiligne chez 86,50% des animaux. Aussi la couleur blanche de la robe domine avec 50,84 %.  Conclusion et application des resultats: En somme, le taurin Kouri du Niger peut etre considere comme une race assez heterogene sur le plan phenotypique. Cette variabilite pourrait etre favorable a une selection en vue d’une amelioration genetique de la race.

Methodology and Results: Phenotypic characteristics of Niger Kuri cattle breed have been assessed in the region of Diffa, Niger, including sampling sites around Kinjandi in Gueskerou commune, and in the Sayam Cattle Secondary Multiplication Center. Measurements were made directly on animals and allowed to record quantitative parameters. Qualitative parameters were given based on the observation of the animals. A total of 475 individuals (423 females, 36 males and 16 castrated males) with at least 4 years age have been sampled. The means values of phenotypic traits measured were as follow: quantitative phenotypic parameters were measured. Height at withers: 125.65 ± 6.08 cm, Heart girth: 157.95 ± 10 cm, height at hips: 133. 50 ± 6.10 cm, Ischium width: 14.41 ± 2.75. Significant differences were observed between sexes. Heart girth is the most correlated parameter to the weight with a correlation coefficient of 0.843. Three barymetric models were used and showed adjusted coefficients of R 1 2 = 0.79, R 2 2 = 0.74 and R 3 2 = 0.71. The qualitative phenotypic parameters revealed a dominant straight profile (85.86%), lateral oriented ears (99.79%), presence of horns (97.89%) and fixed (97.41%), straight back (86.50%) among the individuals. Besides, the white color pattern is predominant (50.84 %). Conclusion and application of results: Overall, Niger Kuri cattle breed may be considered as heterogeneous breed at phenotypic level. This variability may be favorable for selection strategy for this valuable breed improvement. Keywords: phenotype, barymetric formula, Kuri, Niger
