Abstract

Son yıllarda artan maliyetler koyun yetiştiricilerini oldukça fazla zorlamaktadır. Kangal koyunu yetiştiricileri ise süt ve koyunyünü üretiminden tamamen vazgeçmiş olup yegâne gelirlerini kuzu üretimi üzerine kurguladıkları için bu zorlu ortamda var oluş mücadelesi vermektedirler.
Bu çalışmada Kangal koyunlarında iyi kurgulanmış reproduktif yönetimler uygulanabilmesi için üreme sezonunda çiftleştirmelerin toplulaştırılması ve bir gebelikten maksimum verim elde etmek için farklı senkronizasyon metotları uygulanmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın materyalini mevsim dışı gebe kalmış (ilkbahar aylarında çiftleşmiş) Eylül- Ekim aylarında doğumunu gerçekleştirmiş ve kuzularını yaklaşık 60-75 gün emzirmiş multipar (birden fazla kez doğurmuş) 160 baş koyun ve çiftleştirmelerde kullanılan 16 baş koç oluşturmuştur. Grup 1’deki (n:60) deki hayvanlara 0.gün 1. PGF2α (263 µg Kloprostenol sodyum) enjeksiyonu yapılmış ve 9. Günde 2. PGF2α ile birlikte eş zamanlı olarak eCG (500 IU) enjeksiyonu yapılmıştır. Grup 2’deki (n:55) hayvanlara 0.gün eş zamanlı olarak PGF2α ve eCG enjeksiyonları yapılmış ve 7. Günde 2. PGF2α enjeksiyonu yapılmıştır. Grup 3’teki (n:37) hayvanlara ise 9 gün arayla çift doz PGF2α enjeksiyonu yapılmıştır. Bu uygulamaların östrüs gösterme, gebe kalma, çoğul gebe kalma, embriyonik ölüm, doğum sayısı, yavru sayısı ve verimlilik gibi reproduktif parametreler üzerine etkinlikleri değerlendirildi. Farklı senkronizasyon yöntemlerinin östrüs, gebelik, embriyonik ölüm, doğum ve yavru sayısı üzerine oluşturdukları fark istatistiki (p >0,05) olarak anlamlı bulunmadı. Grup 2'deki çoğul gebeliklerin Grup 3’e göre istatistiki anlamda yüksek bulundu (P=0,048). Gruplardaki gerçekleşen doğum başına düşen yavru sayılarına (verimlilik) bakıldığında Grup1, Grup 2 ve Grup 3’te sırasıyla 1,3333, 1,5278 ve 1,1667 şeklinde bulundu. İstatistiki değerlendirmede Grup 2’nin verimliliği Grup 3’ten belirgin şekilde yüksek bulundu (P = 0.03)
Bu sonuçlar ışığında Kangal ırkında standart 9 gün aralıklarla çift doz PGF2α uygulama aralığını 7 güne indirgenerek ilk uygulamada eCG kombinasyonu ile çoğul gebelik ve gebelik başına yavru verimliliğini artırılabildiği belirlenmiştir. Bu uygulamanın üreme sezonunda reproduktif verimi artıracak bir senkronizasyon metodu olabileceği kanaatine varıldı.

Abstract

İn recent years, increased costs pushes the sheep breeders. As for Kangal sheep breeders, they completely given up milk and wool production. Because they build their only income on lamb reproduction , they are trying to existence in this tough environment. In this study, different synchronization methods were applied to aggregate the matings during the breeding season and to obtain maximum efficiency from one pregnancy in order to apply well-designed reproductive managements in Kangal sheep. In this context, the material of the study consisted of 160 multiparous (multiple-lambing) sheep and 16 rams used in mating, which conceived out of season (mated in spring), gave birth in September-October, and suckled their lambs for about 60-75 days. Animals in group 1 (n:60) were given 1st PGF2α (263 µg Cloprostenol sodium) injection on day 0, and eCG (500 IU) was injected simultaneously with 2nd PGF2α on day 9th. Animals in group 2 (n:55) were given simultaneous injections of PGF2α and eCG on day 0, and a second injection of PGF2α was administered on day 7. Animals in group 3 (n:37) were injected with a double dose of PGF2α every 9 days. The efficacy of these applications on reproductive parameters such as oestrus, conception, multiple conception, embryonic death, number of births, number of offspring and fertility were evaluated. The difference between different synchronization methods on estrus, pregnancy, embryonic death, birth and number of offspring was not statistically significant (p >0.05). Multiple pregnancies in Group 2 were statistically higher than Group 3 (P=0.048). Considering the number of lambs per birth (productivity) in the groups, it was found as 1.3333, 1.5278 and 1.1667 in Group1, Group 2 and Group 3, respectively. In the statistical evaluation, the productivity of Group 2 was found to be significantly higher than Group 3 (P = 0.03)
In the light of these results, it was determined that by reducing the double dose PGF2α application interval to 7 days with standard 9-day intervals in the Kangal breed, multiple pregnancy and lamb productivity per pregnancy could be increased with the combination of eCG in the first application. It was concluded that this application may be a synchronization method that will increase reproductive efficiency in the breeding season
