IN-LIFE EVALUATION OF MEAT QUALITIES IN BREEDING FAT-FAT SHEEP

The creation of types, lines and families within the breed, which differ from each other in the degree of expression of the most important breeding characteristics, in fat-tailed sheep breeding allows an assessment of meat qualities. From a practical point of view, it is very important to identify animals of the desired type at an earlier age. Birth weight is an important feature of sheep and is largely determined by heredity. Birth weight is an important feature of sheep and is largely determined by heredity. As a rule, breeding evaluation of fat-tailed sheep is carried out at the age of 1.5 years. In those farms where some of the young animals are sold for meat under the age of one year, animals that are valuable in breeding can also be slaughtered. In this regard, this work evaluates the meat qualities of fat-tailed sheep, the relationship of measurements with live and slaughter weight, carcass weight, and correlation coefficients are calculated
