Abstract
The data of various reproductive performances and wool characteristics of lesser known Gang-Fatehpuri sheep maintained under the farmer’s flocks in Fatehpur district of Uttar Pradesh were recorded and analyzed to evaluate the effect of non-genetic factors on these traits of Gang-Fatehpuri sheep. The least square means for age at first matting, age at first lambing, service period, lambing interval and litter size were 422.42±8.01, 604.54±5.82, 159.98±6.65, 310.86±7.14 days and 1.02±0.02 respectively. The least square means were observed to be 414.88±11.89 g, 49.51±01.50 µ, 3.51±0.19 cm and 62.73±1.97 % for greasy fleece yield, fiber diameter, staple length and medullation percentage, respectively. The season of birth was found to be significant effect (p<0.01) on age at first lambing, greasy fleece yield and medullation percentage.
