Abstract |
Meat and milk possess nutritive properties not available in plants and
man has found many special uses for wool and fur. The purpose of this
study was to analyze the milk production of Makoui ecotypes and the
effects of different parameters on the milk production. So 159 sheep of
this ecotype in two different age groups (2-5 and >5years old) with two
approaches (oxytocin, hand suckling) were studied. Results showed that
oxytocin injection (2.5cc) resulted in more milk (about twice)
production, relative to hand suckling without the oxytocin injection
caused a longer period of milk production. Age and the length of
production had a significant effect on milk production.
