Abstract

During the period 2022-2024, on a representative flock of lambs belonging to the Karakul of Botosani breed, data on lambing weight and the score obtained in the breeding sheet were processed, representative data within the framework of the control of productive performance in the case of skin production. The biological material studied belongs to RDSSGB Popauti and is registered in the Genealogical Register of the Karakul of Botosani breed, being the subject of the multiplication and consolidation of individuals from the two lines in order to homologate them. Currently, the degree of homogeneity of individuals from the White and Pink lines is quite high in terms of curl quality and birth weight, with an average score of 490.8 points in White lambs for breeding 490.3 points for Pink lambs for breeding in 2024, aspects favorable to their homologation.
