| At the Shula sheep station, Department of Animal Research, Ministry of Agriculture, milk composition was investigated in 9 Awassi and 18 of F1( 1/2Awassi x1/2 D'man) and F2 crosses (3/4 Awassi x 1/4 D'man) sheep together through the 16 week lactation period . Result’s indicated that the overall mean percent 0f fat, protein, lactose, ash and total solids were higher in the D'man milk 9.51, 8.03, 5.41, 1.21, 24.21% respectively. In the second rank was the milk obtained from (1/2 Awassi x 1/2 D'man ) 8.57, 7.25 , 5.31, 1.09, 22.23 % respectively. In the third order was the milk obtained from (3/4 Awassi x 1/4 D’man) 6.98, 6.00, 5.19, 1.05, 19.25 % respectively. While the lower quality of milk was from Awassi ewe’s 6.66, 5.61, 5.01, 1.04, 18.34% respectively. It can be concluded that crossing between D'man and Awassi ewe’s is highly recommended for producing high quality milk as in the Morocco D’man. | ||
