The Effects of Different Organic Feed on The Reproductive Performance of Karayaka Sheep
The Effects of Different Organic Feed on The Reproductive Performance of Karayaka Sheep
This research was carried out to investigate the effects of different organic feeds (1. Traditional barley (control), 2. Organic barley (OB), 3. Organic triticale (OT)) and 4. Organic corn (OC) on reproductive performance in Karayaka sheep. Trial feeds were given from 20 days before the mating with rams to 10 days after the rams were added in the pasture period of the sheep. The animals used in the experiment were 3-4 years old, their average live weight was 56±0.5 kg, and 10 heads in each trial group, a total of 40 Karayaka sheep. has been carried out. The highest fertility rate in sheep was in the organic triticale group; followed by control, organic barley and organic corn (P=0.06). According to these results, the highest lamb yield was obtained from the organic triticale group.
