Growth traits and survival rates of Akkaraman lambs in breeder focks in Konya Province

Öz:

This trial was carried out to determine the growth traits and survival rates of Akkaraman ( White Karaman in Turkish,WK) lambs in breeder focks in Konya Province. In this study, the efects of birth year, lamb s sex, birth type, dam s age, and farm onthe birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) at day 75, live weight (LW) at day 120, and average daily weight gain (ADWG) of lambswere investigated. Survival rates of lambs up to weaning were determined based on years. Data were collected from 19,207 lambs bornbetween the years of 2007 and 2010 in 2 diferent villages of Konya Province in Turkey. Te overall BW, WW, LW at day 120, ADWG,and survival rate of lambs were found as 4.05 kg, 19.5 kg, 31.7 kg, 231 g, and 91.4%, respectively. All of the investigated factors hadsignifcant efects on the BW, WW, and LW at day 120 and ADWG of lambs (P < 0.01). Diferences between the survival rates of lambswere signifcant (P < 0.01). Tese results showed that birth year, sex of lamb, birth type, dam s age, and farm have important efects onthe growth of WK lambs. It can also be said that the genetic capacity for rapid growth and ADWG of WK lambs is not low.
