The genetic and phenotypic parameters for pre-weaning weights of Sudan Desert sheep were investigated to provide information as a basis for improvement schemes for the Sudan Desert sheep. Records of 2298 Desert lambs were used to study breed type and environmental factors influencing pre-weaning ...

Data of 224 Merino breeding ewes, kept on artificial pasture in a favorable environment in the South Western Districts, were analysed. Means of greasy wool mass at 16, 28 and 40 months of age were respectively 8.41, 9.14 and 8.79kg. The mean shorn body mass at 16 months of age was 1.05 at both 24...

Seventy Sudan desert rams about one year old were purchased from Omdurman livestock market during September 1976 and taken to Khartoum university farm where they were ear tagged, weighed and divided into four groups of 16 animals each. The rations fed for the four group of animals were: Ration I:...

Sixty-six male Sudan desert sheep representing different weight classes of sheep commonly slaughtered in the local market were sacrificed and slaughter and carcass data collected. The model, y= a x xb , in the logarithmic form, was used to describe the patterns of the relative weight changes of t...
Body weight, carcass weight and composition of 10 mature male, fattened Hamari (Sudan Desert sheep) sheep were evaluated. Slaughter weight averaged 62.1 kg and ranged from 58 to 69 kg. Cold carcass weight was 30 kg while dressing percentage was 43.4 and 56.4 on respective live and empty body weig...
Live mass reproduction and pelvic dimensions (determined mainly by radiographic pelvimetry at more than 4 years of age) were obtained for ewes of the Langgewens Merino flock (n=102), ewes of the Tygerhoek Merino flock (n=434) and ewes of the Elsenburg South African Mutton Merino (n=130) and Dorme...
