Abstract

Study of average performances in a population have a huge importance because, regarding a population, the average of phenotypic value is equal with average of genotypic value. So, the studies of the average value of characters offer us an idea about the population genetic level.
The biological material is represented by 87 hucul horse from Goral bloodline divided in 5 stallion families analyzed at 18, 30 and 42 months old, owned by Lucina hucul stood farm.
The average performances for chest width are presented in paper. We can observe a good growth from one age to another and a small differences between sexes.
The average performances of the character are between characteristic limits of the breed.
