Some production characteristics of Bafra, Akkaraman, Bafra x Akkaraman F-1 and B-1 sheep genotypes

WOS:000564411900001 The present study was carried out to identify the reproductive characteristics, survival rate, growth traits and some body measurements of Bafra (B), Akkaraman (A), Bafra x Akkaraman F-1 (BAF(1)) and Bafra x Akkaraman B-1 (BAB(1)) sheep genotypes. The research was performed at Gozlu State Farm, belonging to the General Directorate of Agricultural Enterprise (TIGEM), during the years of 2014-2016. In the study, lambing rates of BxB, AxA, BxA and BxBAF(1) mating groups were 55.25, 69.97, 67.25 and 64.91%; the lamb production were 92.27, 88.93, 87.54 and 122.81% and the litter sizes were 1.67, 1.27, 1.30 and 1.89, respectively. The survival rates of B, A, BAF(1) and BAB(1) lambs were calculated as 89.89, 94.23, 88.79 and 98.36% in the 90th day, respectively (P
