A comparative study on the forms of curls, brightness of the curls and birth weiths of purebred Afgan Karakül lambs raised at Lalahan Animal Breeding Station and purebred Karakül lambs raised at Çifteler Hara

According to this study, breed characters of purebred Afgan Karakul lambs such as type of curls, luster and birth weights have heritability values.

Çifteler Karakul lambs have undersirable curl with normal luster and birth weight is 803 gram less than Afgan Karakul lamb.

Comparison of two groups we can not find out any difference statistically for cigaretter curl chick-pea curl and corkscren curl. But type of undersirable curl is unfavourable for Çiftelers Karakul lamb.

The reason of the difference between two groups is inbreeding at the Çifteler Karakul flock. Keywords :
