Özet
The aim of this study was to determine some body conformation traits
of female and
male Norduz lambs by using linear type evaluation scheme developed for sheep and to
determine the effect of gender on conformation defects. The animal material of the
study consisted of 40 female and 41 male lambs aged 5
-7 months. Body
weight and
body
measurements of lambs were determined. In the la
mbs, jaw alignment, pelvis
slope, topline, gigot and legs were
evaluated
as body conformation
trait
s. Correlations
among
body
weight
, body measurements and conformation traits
were determined in
female and ma
le lambs. In
the study, t
here
found significant differences between the
genders in favor of male lambs for
body
weight (P
<0.05), withers height (
P<0.01),
body length (
P<0.05) and
chest
depth (
P<0.01).
