| Özet |
| The study was conducted to investigate the effects of birth year, sex, birth type and age of dam on the growth characteristics and some body measurements of Tuj lambs. These traits were measured on 163 Tuj lambs with 30 day intervals from birth to 180 days of age in 2010 and 2011. The effect of birth year on live weight was significant (P< 0.05-P< 0.001) in all age groups except for the 120th, 150th and 180th days of live weights. Sex was not found to be significant (P< 0.05) in all age groups except for the 30th day live weight. The effect of the birth type on the live weight on day 30th and 60th were significant (P< 0.05-P< 0.001). The effect of age of dam on the birth weight, the 30th, 60th, 90th and 120th day weight were also found significant (P< 0.05-P< 0.001). The lambs born from 4 year-old ewes had heavier birth weight than those of lambs born from 2, 3 and 5 years old ewes. The effect of birth year on body measurements was significant (P< 0.05-P< 0.001). Generally, the effects of sex and birth type on body measurements were not significant (P> 0.05). The effect of dam age on body measurements was found to be significant (P< 0.05-P< 0.001) in all age groups except for the 150th and 180th days. The results of the study showed that the influence of age of dam on growth is very important and ought to be taken into account in lamb production breeding. |
