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...

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...

Carcass yield and chemical composition of edible meat of fifteen fattened yearling rams and fifteen fattened yearling wethers of Sudan Desert sheep were studied. The animals studied were random samples from groups, which had been fattened for 2 months on three different rations. They were about 1...
A two-phase experiment was conducted to study the effects of feeding molasses (M) or sorgum (S) based diet on feedlot performance and carcass analysis of 48 intact sudndesert male lambs (age 3-7 months) divided equally into groups of a heavy (H) and light (L) with an average 27±0.8 kg and 31.9±0....

22 yankasa lambs were slaughtered, jointed and dissected after a 184-day feeding experiment involving 4 planes of nutrition: High-high, (HH) high-low (HL), Low-high (LH) and Low-low (LL). Part of the results of the feeding experiment have been reported by lakpini et al. (1982). The carcass weight...
Presents results of a study carried out to determine the ejaculate characteristics of Yankasa rams in Nigeria. Three rams of proven fertility from the breeding herd at shika, of average age of 29 months were investigated. Ejaculates collected during the wet season had higher volume, pH, sperm mot...
