The Effect of Ewe Live Weight on Some Reproductive Characters in Akkaraman and Awassi Sheep

Abstract

The effect of ewe live weight at mating on conception rate (CR), litter size(LS), fertility(FR), fecundity(FC) and viability was investigated. The effect of live weight on CR, FR and viability was non-significant, and on LS and FC was statistically significant(P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). The linear regression of birth weight of lambs on viability was not significant. Effect of the breed on all reproductive characters was found non-significant. The effects of lamb sex and birth type on viability were also non-significant.
