This study was conducted to investigate the possibilities of developing terminal male and female lines for lamb production by the crossing of native breeds, that is, Akkaraman, Sakız (Chios) and Kıvırcık breeds. The Akkaraman sheep is a fattailed breed raised in central Anatolia, while Sakız and Kıvırcık sheep aren non fattailed breeds raised in western and northern-western Anatolia. The Birth rate of Akkaraman x Akkaraman (AA), Sakız x Akkaraman (SA) and Kıvırcık x Akkaraman (KA) breeding groups were generally found as follows: 94.0, 78.6 and 74.0% in 1996; and 93.3, 90.8 and 85.0% in 1997, respectively. The survival rate of …

Production Characteristics Of White Karaman, Chios X White Karaman (F _1 ) Crossbred Lambs. Ii. Fattening Performance, Slaughter And Carcass Characteristics, Fi̇kret Esen, Ni̇hat Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was carried out to investigate the fattening performance, slaughter and carcass characteristics of White Karaman and Chios x White Karaman (F_1 ) crossbred lambs. The data for the study were obtained from 11 purebred and 12 (6 from each genotype) ram lambs for determination of slaughter and carcass characteristics. Lambs were fed alfalfa hay and concentrates ad libitum in the fattening period. All ram lambs with a live weight of 20 kg were fattened in the same pen until they reached 45 kg live weight and afterwards they were slaughtered for investigation of carcass characteristics. During the fattening …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to investigate the growth, survival ability and body measurements of White Karaman and Chios x White Karaman (F_1 ) crossbred lambs. The data for the study were obtained from 34 White Karaman and 32 Chios x White Karaman (F_1 ) crossbred lambs in suckling period and from 8 White Karaman and 10 Chios x White Karaman (F_1 ) crossbred lambs to determine body measurements. Lambs were fed with alfalfa hay and concentrates in the suckling period. The average birth weight was 3.73 and 3.78 kg, the weaning weight was 20.23 and 19.03 kg, the …
