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 …

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 …

The Effects Of Weaning Age On The Growth, Milk And Milk Fat Characteristics Of Brown Swiss Cattle, Mete Yanar, Recep Aydin
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this research, the effects of early weaning on the growth rate and milk production characteristics of Brown Swiss cattle in later years were investigated. The calves used in the study were weaned at 5, 7 and 9 weeks of age, and the weights obtained at 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months of age were not significantly affected by the age of weaning. The weight gains determined between 6 and 18 months of ages with 3-month intervals were also not significantly affected by the different ages of weaning. The various ages of weaning did not result in a significant …
