Abstract
Objective. Presentation of indicators Bukovinian type ewes of Ascanian meat-wool breed with cross-bred wool are given. As a result of research, it was established, that the animals are of a strong constitution, well adapted to conditions of Bukovinian humid climate. Ewes with high reproductive capacity: fertilization made 93.5%, multiple fertility – 131.5, yield of lambs per 100 ewes – 124 heads, with their high viability. The lambs are born of strong constitution, large enough, with high live weight. Live weight at birth is influenced by the sex of the animal. It is established, that the rams live weight is higher than that of ewe-lambs by 7.8%. Ewes have high milk productivity. From a single ewe for the milking period (137 days) 116.6 kg of milk was obtained, with average daily milk yield 0.883 kg, from which 25 kg of solid cottage cheese (brynza) was produced. In gross income, a part of sheep milk products makes about 60%, meat in live mass – 45%, when that of wool – only 3.0%. Conclusions. As the research result, we established, that the Bukovinian type sheep of Ascanian meat-wool breed with cross-bred wool have high indicators of a reproductive capacity and of a combined productivity. However, further Bukovinian type improvement and the increase of milk, meat, and wool productivity indicators requires effective selection methods. The research methods: zootechnical, economic, and biometric.
