Introduction: Lidia
Race officially classified as native English-building, characterized by enormous genetic diversity among farms and spigots. Named for the productive purpose of it, but race is also a producer of meat with two main products, the dealt meat and meat sacrificed bulls eral slaughterhouse.
and specialization in production of meat or milk of most breeds is a relatively recent fighting in the race of specialization for a particular behavior has a long tradition of nearly three centuries, through selection behavioral traits opposite to those used in conventional domestication, and to a lesser extent by morphological characters. In this sense, the bulls is one of the oldest breeds in the world with genealogical records for over a century and a pioneer in the implementation of the targeting criteria complex. Farmers English created the race of fighting with the same animal husbandry procedures that have been applied in other races: the selection, crossbreeding and inbreeding, from English native cattle, located in 5 areas of parenting distributed over almost the entire mainland, from which come the 7 major breeds foundational Morucha Casta Castellana (S. XVI), Casta Jijona and Bulls of the Earth (from the XVI century), Casta Navarra (s. XVI) , Casta Cabrera (origin from the seventeenth century), Casta Gallardo (XVIII), Casta Vistahermosa (XVIII) and Casta Vazqueña (XVIII c.), making this race the main contribution the world bovinotecnia English. Carry more than 250 years through genetic selection techniques and breeding empirical observation based on field functional testing (harassment and demolition, and retienta) and behavioral arenas, which have enabled animals have a characteristic behavior, different from that of the wild animals of origin, making this race a great genetic experiment that has led to an explosion of families, lines or spigots, many of them in serious danger of extinction .
C general aracteres
Prototype includes racial elipométricos animals, mesomorphic, celoides, with great muscular development and exceptional aptitude dynamogenic, observed significant morphological differences between them and other spigots. It is characteristic of the race to sexual dimorphism.
breed animals have horns with a short hook with large number of variants . The race is very colorful , and encompasses virtually all variations color and complementary specificities that occur in cattle.
geographical distribution Lidia breed covers practically the entire Iberian Peninsula except for its northwestern part, to widespread deployment in the open stands of the two plateaus, Andalusia and Extremadura.
productive characteristics and operating systems
exponent of extensive operating system, the bull is bred in large pastures, where they can exercise and develop the habits of their own race, in large fenced areas in terms of day release, which contributes to their conservation.
Their diet is based on the use of various natural resources offered by the pasture, supplemented in periods for pastures and in the final year of preparation for fighting in feed made from plant materials nobles. Rearing conditions, handling, nutrition and health are as important as genetics and animal selection for successful behavior displayed in the bullfights.
For the selection, Functional Testing tentadero groping in the square, held individually with all the females from 2 years old and candidates for stallions, and observation of behavior in places practice bulls and other functional tests such as harassment and demolition. Animal Reproduction is directed by natural mating in lots of covering, highlighting the good maternal ability and longevity of females who have the first birth at age 33-42 months and a calving interval of 12 to 20 months.
type products of the race are: Toro, includes males between 4 and 6 years of age for bulls in bullfights, with a minimum weight of 460 kg. in the arenas 435 kg class. for second and 410 kg. for third and laptops or equivalent 258 kg. channel, Steers-Utrera, includes males aged between 3 and 4 years for heifers with picks,
maximum weight less than 540 kg. in the squares of the first, 515 in second class and less than 270 kg carcass in the other, Steers-eral, with males aged from 2 to 3 years free chopping heifers, calves, a category made up of males under 2 years for calves, bulls and steers on horseback that can be clipped and tips and other males and females participating in the popular festivities.
