Production Characteristics Of Chios X Akkaraman F1 And B1 Crossbred Lambs. Ii. Fattening Performance, Slaughter And Carcass Characteristics, Fi̇kret Esen, Orhan Özbey
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was carried out to investigate the fattening performance, and slaughter and carcass characteristics of Chios x Akkaraman F_1 and B_1 crossbred lambs. The data for the fattening study were obtained from 8 F_1 and 10 B_1 crossbred lambs. Five male lambs from each genotype were slaughtered to determine the slaughter and carcass characteristics. Lambs were fed with alfalfa hay and concentrates ad libitum in the fattening period. During the fattening period, the average daily live weight gains in crossbred F_1 and B_1 groups were 238.04 g and 232.07 g, and the amount of consumed concentrate feeds for 1 …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to compare the fertility of ewes and the survival and growth traits of lambs which were produced by two-way and three-way crossbreeding with Kıvırcık sheep, the predominant breed in the Marmara region, Chios sheep, the most prolific breed in the region and German Black-Headed Mutton (GBM), the mutton breed which exhibits the best adaptation to the environmental conditions of the region. In the study, it was determined that the fertility of the Kıvırcık, GBM x Kıvırcık and GBM x F_1 (Chios x Kıvırcık) genotypes were 76.66%, 81.13% and 85.29% for pregnancy and birth rates; …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to compare the fattening and carcass traits of lambs which were produced by two-way and three-way crossbreeding studies with Kıvırcık sheep, the predominant breed in the Marmara region, Chios sheep, the most prolific breed in the region and German Black-Headed Mutton (GBM) which has been found to be the mutton breed which exhibits the best adaptation to the environmental conditions of the Marmara region. It was determined that two-way and three-way crossbred lambs were similar with regard to fattening and carcass traits, and both showed better performance than Kıvırcık lambs. The crossbred lambs exhibited …
