The Repeatabilities of Live Weight and Some Body Measurements in Malya Lambs

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the growing ability of Malya lambs reared in the Prof. Dr. Orhan Düzgüneş Research and Practice Farm in Agricultural Faculty of Selcuk University for a period of 7 months after weaning. Body measurements of 23 female Malya lambs were measured monthly after weaning for 7 months period. The data were consisted of Live Weight (LW), Withers Height (WH), Back Height (BH), Front Rump Height (FRH), Chest Girth (CG), Shin Circumference (SC), Chest Depth (CD), Front Rump Width (FRW) and Body Weight (BW). The least square means and the standard deviations of the investigated parameters at the research were for WH 59.97±0.14 cm, BH 59.47±0.16 cm, FRH 57.08±0.20 cm, CG 72.38±0.38 cm, SC 7.27±0.06 cm, CD 23.04±0.12 cm, FRW 15.43±0.09 cm and BW 30.34±0.40 kg, respectively. The repeatability and standard deviation of the same traits were 0.182±0.083, 0.274±0.091, 0.259±0.090, 0.258±0.090, 0.488±0.093, 0.232±0.088, 0.155±0.079 and 0.463±0.094, respectively. Also, the phenotyp-ic correlations of these traits were investigated. The highest correlation was between WH and BH as 0.959, the lowest correlation was between SC and FRH as 0.678. In this research, there were highly phenotypic relationship between CW and BW. The estimated correlation coefficients were statistically significant (P<0.01).
