| Title : | THE EFFECT OF APPLIED CROSSBREEDING ON INCREASING OF MILK PRODUCTION IN SHEEP |
| Abstract : | The aim of the research was to identify new methods to increase milk production in sheep. An evaluation of milk production at Ţigaie local breed, in comparison with half-breed females from crossbreeding of local breed sheep with Awassi rams (Aw x Ti) and with Lacaune (La x Ti) was conducted. Estimation of milk production was done according to given by International Committee for Animal Recording (AT method) and statistical analysis was performed using the Restricted Maximum Likelihood method. Mean milk production in Aw x Tiewes was 29,28% higher than in local breed Ţigaie, and 32.20% higher than in La x Ti ewes. Differences of milk yield found in three groups of animals were very significant (p<0.001). Based on obtained results it could be concluded that crossbreeding of Ţigaie with Awassi breed rams had a better effect on increasing of milk production than crossbreeding with Lacaune breed rams. |
