Abstract
At the Sheep Breeding Station, IPA Agricultural Research Center, milk production was investigated in
 92 Iraq Awassi (AW) and 95 Assaf x Awassi (AA) ewes under accelerated lambing system , together with effects of age
 and body weight of ewe , lambing season and sex by litter size of lamb using General Linear Model (GLM)
 procedure . The overall means of milk yield and lactation period were 85.64 kg and 132.36 days, respectively.
