Abstract :This research was conducted to determine growth and survival characteristics of F1 and F2 genotype groups of lambs and reproduction characteristics of F1 genotype groups obtained from crossbreeding Kıvırcık to Hampshire Down, Lincoln and Blackhead German mutton sheep breeds raised at Bandırma Sheep Research Institute. Differences between reproductive characteristics of Hampshire Down x Kıvırcık and Blackhead German x Kıvırcık F1 crossbred sheep were not significant. Effects of birth type and sex on weights at birth, 60., 120. and 180 days in all genotype groups were statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P
