The seasonal change of some physiological parameters of Romanov x Awassi hybrid sheeps which are grown up in Diyarbakir

In this study, it was aimed to determine the seasonal changes of some physiological parameters of yearling crossbred ewes of Romanov x Awassi (F2) sheep born in 2106 in Dicle University Faculty of Agriculture Sheep Farm. During the study, the heart rate (beat/min), respiration rate (breaths /min), rectal temperature (ºC) of experimental yearling ewes were measured twice a day (08 -10 a.m, 16 -18 p.m) in the month of April, August and December. In the research, rectal temperature, pulse rate and respiratory rate values in morning and evening was found for the rectal temperature as 40.092, 40.275, 39.442, 39.584, 39.18, 39.31 ºC, for the heart rate as 109.486, 116.086, 131.19, 135.320, 106.99, 105.50 beat/ min and for respiratory rate as 103.372, 117.970, 69.920, 76.640, 114.75, 107.40 breaths /min respectively in August (warm environment), December (cold environment), April (optimal environment).
