“…Wojtysiak et al (2010) reported no significant differences in colour parameters between males, castrate males and females. Meat colour parameters of Awassi, Morkaraman (Esenbuga et al 2009), Kivircik (Koyuncu and Kara Uzun 2009) and Bafra (Yakan and Unal 2010) lambs are generally similar to what was observed in the present study. The chroma (C*) and hue angles (H°) are more closely related to visual appearance.…”

“…The average daily weight gain of male lambs was higher (65 g) than that of female lambs (p<0.05). The results obtained from the present study on daily weight gain for Karayaka lambs especially male lambs were higher than several estimates at the same age reported in the literature, for example, some Turkish sheep breeds such as Awassi, Morkaraman and Kivircik lambs reported by Esenbuga et al (2009) and Koyuncu and Kara Uzun (2009) and Bafra lambs which were developed by backcrossing between Chios and Karayaka (Yakan and Unal 2010). Boggs and Merkel (1993) noted that average range of depth of fat (fat thickness) over the eye muscle and area of eye muscle should range between 5.08 and 12.7 mm and 38.1 and 91.4 mm 2 between 12th and 13th rib, respectively.…”

In order to verify the fattening performance, slaughter and carcass characteristics and to investigate the changes in some meat quality traits of Karayaka lambs weaned at 3 months of age, 39 lambs (23 males and 16 females) were used as experimental animals. The lambs were fed a concentrate mixture and alfalfa hay (120 and 168 g crude protein and 2,700 and 1,951 ME/kg, respectively) for a period of 60 days of fattening period. Male lambs were superior (p < 0.05) to female lambs in terms of daily weight gain (270.4 vs. 205.4 g; SEM = 9.46), hot and cold carcass weights (16.7 and 16.0 vs. 14.1 and 13.4 kg, respectively; SEM = 0.35), intra-muscular fat ratios (1.9% vs. 2.5%; SEM = 0.12) and dripping loss of semitendinosus muscle 3 days postmortem (8.1% vs. 10.2%; SEM = 0.36). The relative weights of some organs, the meat quality traits (pH, cooking loss, shear force, CIELab colour characteristics) and proximate analyses (dry matter, protein and ash) of longissimus dorsi and semitendinosus muscle samples from lambs were not affected by sex (p > 0.05). Dripping loss, pH and colour characteristics were affected by storage time (p < 0.05). These results provide a basic understanding of performance and meat quality of Karayaka sheep which may have potentials in improving sheep production using an indigenous sheep breed in Turkey.

“…Conversely, there were no significant differences observed between K and R lambs in all periods. The results obtained from the present study on birth weight, especially for K, KM, HM breeds were higher than several estimates in the literature, for example, Koyuncu et al (1999), Cemal et al (2005), Koyuncu & Uzun (2009). ADG is one of the most important indicators of the profitability of lamb production in both pre-and post-weaning periods.…”

“…Th e main native sheep breed of the Th race and Marmara regions of Turkey is Kivircik (Kaymakci 2006). Th e German Mutton Merino was brought into Turkey in the 1930s to increase live weight and fl eece quality of indigenous sheep breeds (Koyuncu and Uzun 2009). Th e Karacabey Merino was obtained by crossbreeding the German Mutton Merino with indigenous Kivircik sheep at the Karacabey State Farm (Yalcin 1986).…”

Paraoxonase (PON) was purified and characterized from the Merino and Kivircik sheep's blood serums by a two-step procedure using ammonium sulphate precipitation and Sepharose-4B-L-tyrosine-1-napthylamine hydrophobic interaction chromatography for the first time. On SDS-polyacyrilamide gel electrophoresis, purified human serum paraoxonase yielded a single band of 66 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The KM and Vmax were 0.482 mM and 41.348 U/mL.dak for Merino PON enzyme, 0.153 mM and 70.289 U/mL.dak for Kivircik PON, respectively. The effect of Mn(2+) , Hg(2+) , Co(2+) , Cd(2+) , Ni(2+) and Cu(2+) heavy metals on purified Merino and Kivircik serum PON in vitro was determined.
