The aim of this study was the determination of phenotypic and zootechnical characteristics of the caprine breed slaughtered for butchery in Abidjan city. Thus, a study was done on 160 caprine at the Port-Bouët slaughterhouse in the city of Abidjan. Then, the breed, coat colour, age, presence or not of horns, goatee and pendants, as well as the measurements, height at the withers and thoracic perimeter were determined. Descriptive statistics of these variables were produced. Followed by a Chi square test for qualitative variables. Furthermore, an ANOVA was performed for the quantitative variables. The results show that caprine of the Sahelian breed (90%) are more slaughtered than those of the Djallonké breed (10%). Coat colours commonly encountered are black-brown (43.75%) for Djallonké breed and brown-piebald (53.47%) for the Sahelian breed. Caprine breed over four years old age (89.38%) are more slaughtered than others. The tallest caprine on legs are those from Sahelian breed (80.24 cm), males (80.10 cm) and those from 3 to 4 years old age (78.10 cm). The thoracic perimeter was 77.82 cm in caprine of the Sahelian breed, 78.44 cm for males and 78.10 cm for caprine breed over 4 years old age. The height at the withers and the thoracic perimeter are influenced by breed or sex (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the caprine breed slaughtered at the Port-Bouët slaughterhouse showed various breeds, sex, coat colours and ages.

Abstract: (french)
L’objectif de cette étude était la détermination de caractères phénotypiques et zootechniques chez des caprins abattus pour la boucherie dans la ville d’Abidjan. Pour cela, une étude a été réalisée sur 160 caprins à l’abattoir de Port-Bouët dans la ville d’Abidjan. Ainsi, les caractéristiques race, couleur de la robe, âge, présence ou non de cornes, de barbiche et de pendeloques, ainsi que les mensurations, hauteur au garrot et périmètre thoracique ont été déterminés. Une statistique descriptive de ces variables a été réalisée. Suivie d’un test de Khi 2 pour les variables qualitatives. Ensuite, une ANOVA a été réalisée pour les variables quantitatives. Les résultats montrent que les caprins de race Sahélienne (90%) sont plus abattus que ceux de race Djallonké (10%). Les couleurs de robe couramment rencontrées sont le brun-noir (43,75%) pour les caprins de race Djallonké et le pie-brun (53,47%) pour la race Sahélienne. Les caprins de plus de quatre ans (89,38%) sont plus abattus. Les caprins les plus hauts sur pattes sont ceux de race Sahélienne (80,24 cm), les mâles (80,10 cm) et ceux de plus de quatre ans (78,10 cm). Le périmètre thoracique a été de 77,82 cm chez les caprins de race Sahélienne, 78,44 cm pour les mâles et 78,10 cm pour les caprins de plus de quatre ans. La hauteur au garrot et le périmètre thoracique sont influencés par la race ou le sexe (p < 0,05). En conclusion, les caprins abattus à l’abattoir de Port-Bouët sont de races, sexes, couleurs de robe et âges variés.
