Productive qualities of youth obtained from crossing of matkas of the sovetskaya meat-wool breed with rabbits gorny corridel

Two groups of Soviet meat-and-wool ewes were formed for the study, based on their age and live weight. The first group of ewes was crossed with purebred Soviet meatand-wool rams, while the second group was crossed with Corriedel mountain rams. The results showed that crossbred young animals had a live weight of 6.8 kg or 14.0% more than purebred animals at the age of 12 months, a shearing yield of 1.6 kg of unwashed wool, a shearing yield of 1.2 kg of washed wool, and a pure wool yield of 4.8% more than purebred animals. Crossbreeding Soviet meat-and-wool ewes with mountain Corriedel rams resulted in highly productive and viable offspring.
