Purebred Menz and first cross (50%) Awassi x Menz and 75% Awassi cross sheep were bred and reared under common environmental and management conditions. Mean birth and 120-day weaning weights recorded from 10 lambings were 2.4, 3.0, and 3.8 kg (p<0.001) and 15.6, 17.6, and 21.5 kg (P<0.001) for Me...

After a preliminary common lambing, Horro ewes were mated either twice at 12-month intervals or three times at 8-month intervals over a period of two years. There were no significant differences between the two mating systems in their productivity at each lambing. However, ewes in the 8-monthly s...
