- Abstract
Objective: This study was carried out in order to examine the reproductive efficiency, growth and survivability values of lambs in Akkaraman sheep under breeder conditions. Materials and Methods: The study's animal material included 460 sheep and 537 lambs of the Akkaraman breed. The parameters of birth, single birth, twin birth and litter size were utilized to estimate the reproductive traits of sheep. Data on birth weight, 60, 90, 120, and 150th day live weight were used to evaluate growth traits. Results: Lambing rate which is one of the fertility characteristics of sheep was 95.8%; the twin birth rate was 21.8% and the number of lambs per ewe was 1.22. While the birth weight of Akkaraman lambs was 3.71 kg, live weights of 60, 90, 120 and 150 days were found to be 15.54 kg, 23.30 kg, 31.08 kg, and 38.85 kg, respectively. The survivability values obtained in the trial on the 60th, 90th, 120th and 150th days were found to be 97.6%, 96.3%, 94.8% and 94.4%, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, the reproductive of Akkaraman sheep and some growth characteristics of lambs in breeder conditions are in accordance with literature reports.
