| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted to evaluate frequent lambing of Awassi sheep under private (commercial) farm condition. The Awassi ewes were exposed to rams in two mating seasons, 1109 Awassi ewes during summer mating season (1/5 – 30/8/1998) and 951 ewes during winter mating season (1/12/1998 to 20/1/1999) . The results indicat that percent of fertility (131.5%) , prolificacy at lambing (138.3%) and at weaning (126.0%) were significantly higher (P<0.01) in frequent lambing system than that in once a year lambing system. The number of lambs weaned per 100 ewes joined to rams was 126 lambs under frequent lambing system compared to 87 lambs under once – a year lambing system. It was concluded that the return and profitability of a sheep flock can be improved under frequent lambing under private farm condition | ||
