Özet:

 The aim of this study was to determine the growth and development characteristics of singleton unweaned male Morkaraman lambs extensively raised under breeder conditions from birth to the end of the grazing season. A total of 45 singleton male Morkaraman lambs were used in this study and live weight changes from birth to the end of pasture period 140th day of age and some body measurements at the end of pasture period were determined of these lambs. The means of the live weight values of the lambs at the birth, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 115, and 140th days were 4.04, 7.42, 10.03, 13.22, 16.74, 20.83, 25.91, 29.67, and 33.43 kg, respectively. At the end of the grazing season 140th day, the mean values of the lambs wither height, chest depth, chest girth, rump height, and rump length were 61.73, 29.47, 75.13, 60.33, and 19.73 cm, respectively. As a result of the study, it was found that Morkaraman singleton male lambs raised on the pasture only grazing without weaning for up to 140 days provided adequate growth and development. However, when the live weight changes are evaluated, it can be said that it would be beneficial to make additional feeding after 90 days age. It would be appropriate to evaluate the longer feeding.

 Çalışmada, tekiz-erkek Morkaraman kuzuların yetiştirici koşullarinda büyüme ve gelişme özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kuzular yetiştirici koşullarına uygun şekilde sütten kesim uygulanmadan doğumdan mera sonuna kadar mera olanakları ile yetiştirmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında 45 baş tekiz erkek Morkaraman kuzudan doğumdan mera sonuna 140. gün kadar canlı ağırlık değişimleri ve mera sonu bazı vücut ölçüleri tespit edilmiştir. Kuzularda ortalama doğum ağırlığı, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 115 ve 140. gün mera sonu canlı ağırlık değerleri sırasıyla 4.04, 7.42, 10.03, 13.22, 16.74, 20.83, 25.91, 29.67 ve 33.43 kg olmuştur. Kuzuların mera sonu 140. gün ortalama cidago yüksekliği, göğüs derinliği, göğüs çevresi, sağrı yüksekliği ve sağrı uzunluğu değerleri ise sırasıyla 61.73, 29.47, 75.13, 60.33 ve 19.73 cm olmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda, Morkaraman tekiz erkek kuzuların sütten kesim yapılmadan sadece mera ile besleme yapılarak 140. güne kadar yetiştirmenin yeterli büyüme ve gelişme sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Ancak büyüme sonuçları incelendiğinde, 90. gün sonrası imkân dahilinde ilave besleme yapmanın faydalı olacağı ve beslemenin daha uzun yapılarak değerlendirilmesinin uygun olacağı önerilebilir.
