Productivity of Sheep in Different Climatic Zones

EasyChair Preprint no. 4634

Abstract

The problem of global climate change on the planet requires the most effective use of the bioclimate in order to develop a production technology that meets the natural potential. This study is aimed at studying the impact of climate zones on sheep productivity in order to identify resources for wool and lamb production. The research was conducted on fine wooled sheep. The study used analysis and methods of variation statistics of digital data. The criterion for the reliability of the difference between the average indicators is calculated using the MS Excel 2000 software. We used exterior and phenotypic indicators, meat (live-weight) and wool (wool cut), productivity in 8056 heads of sheep in 13 herds of Issyk-Kul, 24 herds of Talas and 10 herds of South kyrgyz type of sheep for the period from 2012 to 2016. In terms of live weight (X±SX=58.20±0.31; CV=4.98), Issyk-Kul ewes outperform their counterparts from other climatic zones with a significant difference (P<0.01; P<0.05). The research results allow farmers and livestock breeders to make the best use of existing sheep adaptation strategies and take climate change into account when developing and implementing agricultural policies.
