EFFECT OF BODY CONDITION SCORE AND WEANING AGE IN SOME PRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF AWASSI SHEEP

To study the impact of body condition score (BCS) ewes on weight (BW) and gain (BWG) lambs effect weaning age BW BWG lambs, thirty Awassi (2–3 years old) with their borne male were used in study. Ewes condition-scored assigned to three groups, 1st, 2nd 3rd groups BCS 2.5, 3 3.5 respectively. Lambs weaned neither 60 or 90 days (5 for each), lasted days. The analyzed data showed significant (P≤0.05) differences high ewes; also, increased significantly by compared 2.5 at 4th, 6th, 8th weeks Total was higher BCS- ewe’s lambs.
