Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the linear growth of rams, boulders and eggs of a short-tailed rough-coated breed of sheep. The infl uence of gender and age on the studied indicators was studied. It was found that measurements of body parts that characterize the development of the chest, such as chest depth, chest width, chest girth behind the shoulder blades, were characterized by the highest growth intensity, and height measurements, as well as oblique trunk length and pastern girth, increased less intensively with age. The advantage in the intensity of growth of the analyzed examples was in the rams.
