The animal material of this study was formed a total of 281 heads of Akkaraman breed lamb from 7 farms, born in 2018, grown in Cankırı province. In this study, average birth, 60, 90 and 120 days weight average were found 4.264 kg, 22.114 kg, 30.147 kg, and 34.950 kg, respectively. In the study, the gender effect on birth weight was not statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);, while the effect of type of birth was found statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. The effect of birth type was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); on 2, 3 and 4 months of age, body weight; the farm conditions had significant effect on birth weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. The determination coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R²); in the improvement of the lambs from birth to 4th month age was found 0.918.
