Abstract

Feed efficiency is one of the most important traits in the meat producing animals including sheep.This trait can only be assessed through individual measurement of the feed consumption for each animal, which is very troblesome and costly. A measure which seems to be correlated with FEED EFFICIENCY is KLEIBER RATIO, defind as the ratio of average daily gain over metabolic body weigh at the end of the underlying period. This study examined KLEIBER RATIO as an indirect selection criterion in order to improve the FEED EFFICIENCY for the KURDISH SHEEP. A fattenning trial, for 15 weeks and in individual boxes, was conducted on 65 Kurdish lambs. During the experimental period Growth traits (including: birth weight, weaning weight, initial and final weights) and feed consumption were recorded. The correlation between the KLEIBER RATIO with average daily gain and FEED EFFICIENCY were 0.88 and 0.85 respectively, which are high enough to support the idea of including the Kliber ratio in SELECTION CRITERIA. The PHENOTYPIC CORRELATION between KLEIBER RATIO with birth weight, weaning weight and initial and final weights were -0.141, -0.143, -0.458 and 0.163, respectively, which are relatively low.
