چکیده

This study was conducted at the college of agriculture – Al-Qasim Green University to investigate effect breed and age dams on several growth traits two sheep breeds, including 123 Iraqi Awassi 78 Iranian Karakul breeds. Variables were examined in present study, namely body weight (BW), length (BL), wither height (WH), rump (RH), chest circumference (CC), abdominal (AC). Results indicated absence a significant between both breeds all investigated birth. Meanwhile, (P<0.05) superiority over detected month-3 three (BW, WH, RH), month-6, four RH, BL). The exhibited majority lambs’ since lambs born from aged 4 years gave more values than those less years. Sex had also contributed measurements higher collected males females BH, month-6 BL, RH). Time birth yielded significantly better for January other months. However, December lambs. In conclusion, this demonstrated obvious measured.

The data were collected from 1992 to 2009 in Burri, White Boni and Black Boni sheep maintained at the Regional Research Station in the Central Highlands of Yemen. Data were analyzed to study the effects of environmental and genetic factors on body weight and growth rate from birth to weaning. The least square means for body weights (BW) were 2.54, 2.18 and 2.26 kg for birth; 12.49, 10.58 and 11...

Genetic correlation of ram sexual performance with ewe reproductive traits of four sheep breeds

Rams express differences in sexual performance during the breeding season. Breeding rams with high sexual performance scores as measured during a sexual performance test can improve flock fertility. Whether selecting rams for high sexual performance score will indirectly improve ewe reproductive performance is not known. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic correlation betwee...
