Evaluation of reproductive performance in selected breeding of sheep

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the reproductive performance over the period from 2007 to 2010 in selected Suffolk sheep. The evaluation was carried out on the basis of records kept in the selected breeding sheep at Agris Markvarec s r.o. and on own observations. During the reporting period was evaluated 1115 ewes, which were monitored the following parameters such as fertilization, fertility, intensity, rearing of lambs, infertility, ewes lambing, percentage of sheep abortions, stillborn lambs, mortality, percentage of breeding lambs and percentages of sheep by percent occurrence of the cast. There was also observed age structure of the ewes, the dependence of age on fertility of ewes and the effect of father mother on her fertility. In the observed breeding was found the following results, which are presented as an average over the reporting period, so the percentage of fertilization is 91.2%, fertility 145.2% and rearing 81.3%. The percentage of idleness of sheep is 8.8%, which directly affected the percentage of the intensity, which is 118.3% and the lambing percentage, which ranks lower value 81.2%. A relatively high percentage was achieved in postnatal mortality, which is 11.4%. Percentage of sheep abortions in the average is 5.4% and the percentage of stillborn lambs is 4.9%. Breeding lambs 92.3%. The effect of age of ewes on fertility was confirmed by F - test for the significance level of p ? 0,05. Subsequent testing has been demonstrated median significant differences between groups of ewes aged 2 and 3 years and between age groups 3 and 5 years. On the same level of significance was also demonstrated effects of father mother on fertility of mother and on the basis of the results was found that the lowest average fertility rates in the ewes, their father is out of line Yog (110%) and conversely the highest fertility rate (170,8%) is achieved for mothers whose father is out of line Harald. Further testing, which was focused on the effect of age of breeding ewes and breeding year in terms of the father´s line on the mother's fertility wasn´t demonstrated
