Abstract

The profitability of sheep farm has a close relationship with produced lamb number per year. An increase in this number can be obtained by using accelerated lambing system. For this aim, it has been developed different accelerated lambing systems such as twice lambing in a year, three lambing in two years, four lambing in three years, Carnal system and Star system. In Carnal system developed by Cornell University the flock from three lambing in two years system are divided into four sub-flocks with one flock lambing other month. Carnal system has got all advantages of three lambing in two years system. Star system is based on the fact that a calendar year (365 days) contains exactly five, 73 days periods each of which is exactly half of a sheep pregnancy period (146 days). By expressing the calendar in circular fashion with each 73-d period marked off and connecting alternate points a perfect star is formed. In this system, ewes can lamb five times in three years. For this reason lambing interval is 7.2 months.

Özet

Bir koyunculuk işletmesinde kârlılık, yılda koyun başına elde edilen kuzu sayısı ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu sayının artırılmasında kullanılan uygulamalardan birisi de sık kuzulatma sistemleridir. Bu amaçla yılda iki kuzulatma, iki yılda üç kuzulatma, üç yılda dört kuzulatma, Camal sistemi ve Yıldız sistemi gibi değişik sık kuzulatma sistemleri geliştirilmiştir. Cornell Üniversitesi tarafından geliştirilmiş olan Camal sisteminde iki yılda üç kuzulatma uygulanan sürü, herbiri diğer ayda kuzulayan dört alt sürüye ayrılmıştır. Camal sistemi iki yılda üç kuzulatmanın tüm avantajlarına sahiptir. Yıldız sistemi bir takvim yılının (365 gün) 73 günlük 5 dönem içerdiği gerçeğine dayanır ki, bu süre bir koyunun gebelik süresinin (146 gün) yarısına eşittir. Bu 73 günlük periyotlardan oluşan yılın, daire şeklinde birleştirilmesi ile yıldız oluşturulur. Bu sistemde koyunlar üç yılda beş defa kuzulayabilirler. Bu nedenle kuzulama aralığı 7.2 aydır.
