While the fertility percentage with sheep synchronization was reported to be 74%, that with the control group was 100%. As a result, 53.83% accounted for male and 46.15% for the female lambs. The average body weight of all the lambs while being borne was 3.48 kg with no significant statistical differences (P is greater than 0.05) found, weighting 11.29 kg within 30 days and 20.64 kg within 90 days. Additionally, the variations on lambs weight taken by sex and their delivery type seemed highly significant (P is less than 0.001), whereas those determined between the groups were insignificant, statistically (P is less than 0.01). The average daily gain during fattening from 6 to 8 months was recorded to be 180 g, with estrus synchronization found to have no impact on the productional traits.
