Study of Mortality Pattern in an Organized Farming Sector amongst Kashmir Merino Sheep

The efficient and economic sheep production mainly depends on daily weight gain and ewe reproduction performance i.e. conception rate and litter size. Therefore, conception rate and litter size are important traits in commercial sheep enterprise. However, profitability mainly depends on number of lambs sold per ewe. The sheep mortality is a drag on litter size and number of lambs sold per ewe. Further, it is not possible to save each and every lamb born. However, it is possible to decrease lamb mortality and increase lamb marketing significantly by establishing facts relating to cause and time of morality. Establishing cause and identifying when mortality takes place (age, season, month International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 4 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
