Abstract EN
Data for the present observation was collected on 4112 karadi ewes and 750 black does raised on 17 farm located in Duhok province.
Its seems from this observation that almost 25 and 70 % of total females in the flock are 2 and 3-5 years old, and the main reason of culling is the age of animals, because of their lower productivity.
Fertility, conception, lambing rates and litter size averaged, respectively 84.5, 90.2, 86.5% and 1.02 for ewes, and 81.7, 92.4, 94.0 and 1.15 in the same order for does.
The average lambs and kids survival rate are 96.0 and 90.4% respectively.
It can be concluded from the current investigation that the performance of ewes and does is comparable if not better than those raised on station conditions.
