Abstract
The Genetic Parameters of Some Wool Physical Characteristics and Shearing Body Weight of Ile de France (IF) x Akkaraman (WK)(Gi) Female Yearlings
This research was carried out in Ile de France (IF) x White Karaman (WK) (Gi) female yearlings. In the research, the heritabilities of first shearing body weight, first shearing wool weight, breaking strength, elasticity, fiber diameter, medullated fiber percentage, medullated fiber diameter, staple length, single true fiber length and clean fleece percentage were estimated 0.91, 0.58, 0.08,
0. 22, 0.32, 0.49, 0.64, 0.14, 0.41 and 0.23, respectively. High and positive genetic correlations were calculated especially between first shearing body weight and wool weight, wool weight and medullated fiber diameter, medullated fiber percentage with breaking strength and elasticity, medullated fiber diameter with single true fiber length and fiber diameter.
