“…The percentage of LSAW outcomes that were similar to LS increased steadily throughout the selection. Similarly, (Habtegiorgis et al 2022) stated a trend toward improvement in litter size characteristics as a result of the ongoing breeding of Bonga and Horro sheep. The influence of the lambing year on LSAW has also been documented by other researchers.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the reproductive performance of the Afec-Assaf strain in intensive farming. The research was carried out in Bani Naim, Hebron city, Palestine. Data collected from 450 ewes and 1660 lambs born over the period 2019 to 2022 were used to compile the data for this study. Linear models with fixed effects were used to estimate the influence of year of birth and parity on litter size born alive (LS), litter size at weaning (LSAW), and lambing interval (LI). The most influential component in LS was parity, which resulted in an average of 1.81 ± 0.9. There was a significant difference between the size of litters born in the first and fourth parities, with the smallest litters born in the first parity (1.75±0.04) and the largest born in the fourth (2.25±0.14). LSAW lamb averaged 1.75±0.82. The LSAW was significantly influenced by parity (P0.05). LI was 250.60±77.59 days on average. There was no significant (P0.05) relationship between parity and LI. The longest LI was observed at third parity (251.56±6.15 days). According to the findings, the birth type of a lamb is significantly affected by the parity. Non-genetic variables have a substantial impact on the diversity of reproductive traits in Afec-Assaf.

“…Production qualities can be influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as management practices, climate, nutrition, and health (McManus et al 2008;Joy et al 2020;Cheng et al 2022). Recent research found that litter size, birth weight, and survival rates in kids and goat were significantly affected (Assan 2020;Habtegiorgis et al 2022). In Malaysia, tropical conditions, including high temperatures and humidity, and fluctuating feed supply and quality posechallenges, and fluctuating in ruminant production (Khandoker et al 2018).…”

Live weight is one of the parameters for evaluating milk and meat production of livestock. Live weight is an important indicator for improving production traits. The present study was conducted to measure growth performances based on two factors; sex differences and litter size and observation of survival between these factors during the sample period. Data from 22 Saanen kid were recorded for 6 weeks. Results showed that male kid had higher live weight than female kid (P0.05), with a difference of 3.3% in the percentage of live weight gained over 6 weeks of sampling. This resulted in a body gain of 0.68 kg/day for male kid and 0.48 kg/day for female kid. The current study also showed that twin kid had a higher average live weight than single kid (P0.05). The average size of single-born Saanen kid was not significantly different from twin-born Saanen goat kid (P0.05). Twin-born Saanen kid gained 9.9% more live weight in 6 weeks than singleton- born. Survival was 86.4%, with all deaths attributable to singleton-born kid. In this study, preweaning kid survival was not affected by sex or litter size, but was affected by maternal age. Other factors such as pellet deficiency should be considered as they affect the overall production of the animals. The data collected in this study could potentially lead to more accurate evaluation of breeding value, and improvements in feeding and management.

In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of birth type and gender on growth performance, live weight gain, growth modeling, and survival rate in Anatolian Merino lambs. Growth performance was determined in 28 singletons (14 females/14 males), 80 twins (38 females/42 males), and 54 triplets (22 females/32 males) lambs in the study. The body weight of the lambs was measured on the day of birth (day 0), and at 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 days of age. Birth type was effective on growth performance in Anatolian Merino lambs (P
