Özet
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different synchronization protocols applied to Akkaraman ewes during the transition period on reproductive performance and total live weights of lambs. The study was conducted on 82 Akkaraman ewes ranging in age from 2 to 5. Sheep were randomly divided into five groups: Control (C, n=14), Melatonin Implant (MI, n=15), Ovsynch (OH, n=13), Melatonin Implant/FGA Sponge (MI/FGA, n=18), and FGA Sponge (FGA, n=22). In K, MI, OH, MI+FGA and FGA groups, lambing rate was 64.29%, 60%, 61.54%, 55.56% and 50%, single lambing rate was 77.78%, 33.33%, 62. 50%, 33.33%, and 27.27%, twin lambing rate 22.22%, 55.56%, 37.50%, 50%, and 63.64% and triplet lambing rate 0.00%, 11.11%, 0.00%, 10.00% and 9.09% respectively. While the difference between the groups was not significant (P>0.05), The fertility rate per ewe was significant (P<0.05) at 1.22, 1.78, 1.37, 1.50, and 1.82 for the K, MI, OH, MI + FGA and FGA groups, respectively. Consequently, in this study, the highest values for lamb production, twin lambing rate, and total lamb weight were obtained in the FGA and MI groups. It is thought that PMSG applied to the FGA group and melatonin hormones applied to the MI group are effective in the formation of these values.
