Abstract :This study was conducted to identify the best model characterizing the lactation curves of Awassi sheep, and to calculate the estimated lactation milk yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ELMY); per sheep based on the model parameters. The study also investigated the factors affecting the observed lactation milk yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OLMY); and ELMY, as well as the identified model parameters. OLMY was 111.47±3.504 kg, with a lactation period of 133.70±1.714. In an analysis of the HO, R2 and r parameters together, the fourth-order Legendre polynomial insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LEG4); model was found to best predict the lactation curves of the Awassi sheep in the present study.Keywords : Awassi sheep, lactation curve, LEG4, Milk yield
