Abstract
The research was carried out on the stock farm "Eblin", Belje, in 1988. The experiment included the total of 126 lambs, 54 lambs of the cigaja breed,18 lambs of the suffolk breed and 54 lambs, hybrids of the suffoolk x cigaja. Daily growth, birth weight ,weight at 2 and 4 months, were followed. In the same keeping conditions the hybrid and suffolk lambs bigger weight and daily growth of 14,69-19,03% and 15,47-30,12%, respectively, compared to the lambs of the control group. Differences between the medium value of the control and the experimental groups are highly significant (p<0,01), The experiment results show that application of industrial crossing of earlymature rams and domestic sheep influences the increase of the body weight as well as the daily growth and the results is higher production of lamb meat.
