Recommended sheep husbandry model and body weights of Morkaraman lambs in Muş province*

This research was carried out in order to determine the birth weight and the weaning weight in Red Karaman sheep under different raising conditions in Muş province of Turkey. The data used in this study was one year data obtained from a total of 28 sheep farms in Muş province. The means for birth weight and weaning weight of 90th day were calculated as 3.79±0.01 kg and 29.30±0.10 kg. The average daily live weight gain of lambs was found 272.8±0.01 g between birth and 90th day. Means for some reproductive traits as lambing rate, sterility rate, survival rate at 90th day weaaning, fecundity, and litter size were found as 92.2%, 7.8%, 97%, 1.11, and 1.21, respectively. There are systems of the stock breeding, the highland sheep husbandry, and the nomadic small ruminant husbandry in Muş province. The results of this research have been the basis for the scientific studies taking into account birth weight, weaning weight, and some reproductive traits of Red Karaman sheep. In particular, the source of observed variation in birth and weaning weight in Red Karaman sheep may be the genetic and the environmental. As result, it has been recommended to perform the improvement studies in this direction and to focus on mutton production from these sheep.

Recommended sheep husbandry model and body weights of Morkaraman lambs in Muş province*

This research was carried out in order to determine some reproductive traits, the birth and the weaning weight and daily live weight gain of Morkaraman sheep in different farms of Muş province. The data used in this study was one year data of 2019 year obtained from a total of 28 sheep farms in Muş province. The mean for birth weight and 90th day weaning weight were calculated as 3.79±0.01 and 29.30±0.10 kg. The average daily live weight gain of lambs was found 272.8±0.01 g between birth and 90th day. Means for some reproductive traits as lambing rate, infertility rate, survival rate at 90th day weaaning, fecundity, and litter size were found as 92.2%, 7.8%, 97%, 1.11, and 1.21, respectively. Effect of birth type and dam age on birth and weaning weight and daily live weight gain was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). Effect of gender on birth (p<0.001) and weaning weight (p<0.05) was found to be statistically significant. The results of this research have shown that source of variation observed for birth and weaning weight in Morkaraman sheep may be the genetic and the environmental. As a result, it has been recommended to perform the improvement studies in mutton production from Morkaraman sheep and growth features can be used as a breeding criterion to improve meat yield.
