FATTENING AND SLAUGHTER PARAMETERS OF RAM LAMBS OF THE KAZAKH COARSE WOOL FAT-TAILED SHEEP BREED
The purpose of the study is the development and implementation of the production technology of lamb or lamb meat from purebred Kazakh coarse-haired fat-tailed sheep and fattening of young stock for obtaining high-quality meat in the conditions of Akmola region. The object of the research was the young of the Kazakh coarse-haired sheep breed bred in the “Tabys” farm of the Akmola region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the process of the study was carried out feeding of 7-month rams. It has been established that in the rations of young sheep for fattening it is necessary to increase the volume of the specific weight of feed to 20-30%, i.e. to increase the share of mixed feeds from 350 g to 700 g. Results on the use of mixed feed showed that rams of the Kazakh coarse fat tail breed when fattening with the inclusion of mixed feed in the ration had higher meat productivity, and the meat of these sheep was classified as the highest category. In order to develop the production technology of lamb or lamb from Kazakh coarse-haired fat-tailed sheep under the conditions of the Akmola region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, research should be continued in this direction
