Body weight and daily gain of 27 Turkish and 30 Barki lambs during the suckling period (10 wks.) were studied. Birth weight (BW, daily weight gain (DG) and weaning weight (WW) of Turkish lambs averaged 3.64 kg. 131 g. and 12.68 kg, resp. The corresponding averages of Barki lambs were 3.23 kg, 106 g. and 10.92 kg. resp Breed had a significant (P 0.05) in fluence on all traits studied. Sex of lambs affected DG and WW significantly (P 0.05) but did not affect BW. The significant effect (P 0.05) of age of dam was confined only to BW of lamb, while body weight of dam at lambing had a significant (P 0.01) influence on DG and WW. The regression of WW on BW of lamb was significant (P 0.05) while that of DG on BW was not.
