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 ...

Twenty-five male Shugor, 25 female Shugor, 25 male Watish and 25 female Watish lambs, individually fed for 57 days, were used to study post-weaning growth performance and carcass composition of these breed types when subjected to a period of intensive feeding. Means and standard error of means of...

Data were available to study reproductive aspects on a total of 1860 matings over three years for the Shugor and Watish ecotypes of Sudan Desert sheep kept under hot semi-arid conditions at the El Huda sheep research station in the Sudan. Overall adjusted mean gestation length was 150 days with n...

The growth of 30 docked and 30 intact male Sudan Desert lambs was studied to weaning. The mean birth weight, rate of gain to weaning and weaning weight of the docked group were found to be 3.9 kg, 119g/d and 18.5 kg respectively; those for the intact group were 4.1 kg, 116 g/d and 18.0 kg in the ...
