Comparison of yield characteristics of brown and black headed awassi sheep

Aims: The reproductive and milk yield characteristics of brown and black headed Awassi sheep were investigated in this study. Methods and Results: In this study, brown and black headed types of Awassi sheep were compared in terms of 150-day milk yield and some fertility characteristics. At the end of the study, 150 days milk yield, birth weight and weaning weight of Awassi sheep with brown head and black head were determined as 111.6 and 121.5 kg, 4.1 and 3.9 kg, 17.4 and 20.6 kg, respectively. Conclusions: There were statistically significant differences in lamb development and milk yield between two different varieties. Significance and Impact of the Study: Information presented in this study should be taken into account the variety for sheep breeding in the regio
