THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SHEEP OBTAINED BY CROSSING MEAT DORPER SHEEP WITH SHEEP OF DOMESTIC BREEDS

Abstract

The development of sheep breeding in the republic is aimed at improving the productive and breeding qualities of animals. The existing sheep breeds do not sufficiently meet the needs of the republic in the production of its own meat products. According to the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic, the demand for meat is only 85.7% and the republic is forced to import this product from neighboring countries. In order to increase these products, studies were conducted on crossing meat dorper sheep with sheep of domestic breeds – Kyrgyz fine-fleeced, Tien Shan semi-fine-fleeced and Alai semi-rough-haired to increase the yield of meat products. In the conducted studies, the issues of growth and development of crossbred young sheep at different age periods of life were studied. The indicators of meat products are currently being processed, with chemical analysis of meat to determine its nutritional qualities. Sheep rearing for meat in Kyrgyzstan, as in the Central Asian republics, is a priority industry. The currently existing breeds of Kyrgyz sheep do not have sufficient meat output. To increase the production of meat sheep, it is necessary to use the genetic potential of meat breeds of domestic and foreign breeding. Domestic and foreign scientists have proved the need for further scientific research to improve existing and breed new breeds, breed groups and types of highly productive sheep of the meat production line. The main method of forming the meat direction in sheep breeding is the crossing of local sheep breeds with the best meat breeds of both domestic and foreign selections and is very relevant.
