Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the growth, development, and exterior traits of Ordabasy sheep of the meat-fat productivity type under the conditions of the “Shukeyt-Ata” peasant farm, Panfilov district, Zhetysu region. A comprehensive analysis of live weight and biometric parameters of animals of different sex and age groups was carried out, and body conformation indices were determined, characterizing the level of skeletal development, chest formation, proportionality, and balance of body structure.

It was established that the Ordabasy breed is distinguished by high precocity, stable live weight gain, strong constitution, and well-pronounced meat forms corresponding to the requirements of modern sheep breeding. The obtained data confirm the high adaptability and genetic potential of the breed under pasture conditions and allow recommending it for further breeding in various natural and climatic zones of Kazakhstan.

The Ordabasy breed represents a valuable breeding resource for the sustainable development of sheep husbandry, possessing high productivity, ecological plasticity, and economic efficiency.

According to the research results, ewe lambs at the age of 4–4.5 months reach an average live weight of 37.6 kg, at 1.5 years – 47.6 kg; ewes at 2.5–3.5 years – 62.4 kg; and breeding rams at 2.5 years – 72.5 kg. The obtained data on live weight and main zootechnical measurements fully correspond to the standard requirements of the Ordabasy breed.
