Özet

To determine the fertility, wool yield and wool characteristics of East Friesian x Awassi crossbreds (F1), a total of 40 sheep were sheared and inseminated. 97.50% conceived, 76.92% gave birth to twins. There were 1.85 lambs per sheep. Wool yield was 3.10 ± 0.05 kg with 31.38 ± 0.26 µm mean fiber diameter, 14.07 ± 0.30 g resistance, 29.21 ± 0.46% elasticity and 9.43 ± 1.90 cm staple length. Most of these characteristics differed in samples taken from shoulder, rib, rump and ridge regions. These (F1) sheep have high twin rate and lambing percentage and wool is best suited for blanket and carpet-weaving industry. © GSP, India.
