“…In a study conducted by Türkyılmaz et al [27] in Morkaraman sheep, similar to the findings in the present study, a positively correlation was observed between the udder dept and solid non-fat, density, protein, lactose, ash, and also udder width and fat, solid non-fat, lactose, density, protein, lactose, ash (P<0.05, P<0.01). In the study, it was determined that the effect of udder types (type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4 and type 6) on fat and conductivity was found to be significant (P<0.05).…”

It was aimed to determine the effects of udder type on udder traits, milk yield and some physicochemical properties of Bafra (Chios × Karayaka) ewes. The lactation length, daily milk yield, lactation milk yield, and daily average milk yield of ewes were determined. In addition the udder type were determined, udder and teat traits were measured. The fat, solid non–fat, protein, lactose, mineral, density, freezing point, and conductivity values of the milk were determined. Type 3 udder was observed at the highest rate (37.5%) and Type 5 udders were not detected in ewes. The lactation length, daily, and lactation milk yield values were calculated as 177.75 days, 868.60 g and 156.86 kg, respectively. Udder circumference, udder width, udder depth, right teat length, left teat length, right teat diameter, left teat diameter, the distance between teats and udder floor height from the ground was calculated as 40.95 ± 0.63, 12.36 ± 0.30, 16.24 ± 0.40, 2.85 ± 0.09, 2.76 ± 0.09, 1.49 ± 0.03, 1.43 ± 0.04, 15.35 ± 0.23, and 31.88 ± 0.70 cm, respectively. Rates of fat, protein, lactose, solid non–fat, mineral and also density, freezing point, and conductivity were calculated at 5.17 ± 0.30, 1039.08 ± 0.31, 6.24 ± 0.05, 11.51 ± 0.10, 0.88 ± 0.009, 1039.08 ± 0.31 g·mL-1, -0.80 ± 0.009°C and 5.26 ± 0.03 mS·cm-1, respectively. It has been determined that Bafra sheep can be a suitable breed for breeding in the conditions of Malatya, Province of Turkey. However, more scientific research should be done on this topic and the level of milk production should be improved.

“…Both types of udders had low and oblique teats, while the second type was cylindrical and the third type was pear-shaped. The third udder type (70.3%) was found to be the most common in Morkaraman, Tuj and Awassi sheep breeds and the most optimal and acceptable for machine milking (Türkyýlmaz et al 2018). Similar findings were found in studies reporting the 3 rd type as the most common udder type in various sheep breeds (Kukovics et al 2006;Kaygýsýz and Dag, 2017;Prpic et al 2020).…”

Background: A limited number of studies in non-dairy sheep breeds have investigated the assessment of udder morphology on a linear scale. The aim of this study was to use the linear scoring approach to determine the morphological udder traits of non-dairy Norduz ewes. Methods: Udder traits were measured once in mid-lactation (approximately 90 days) for each ewe before the milking. Udder measurements included the following traits: udder width, udder circumference, udder length, udder depth, teat diameter, teat length, the distance between two teats and teat height from the ground. Linear scoring was done after the udder measurements were taken. Result: Linear udder scores for teat placement, udder depth, the degree of separation of two halves and the degree of udder suspension were found as 4.10, 6.88, 3.15 and 7.54, respectively. Measurements related to udder size were positively and significantly correlated with each other. As a result, the 9-point linear scale utilized in this study was found to be appropriate for evaluating the udder shape of Norduz ewes. However, it would be beneficial to develop an uncomplicated, easy and practical linear scale that accurately evaluates udder morphology for non-dairy breeds.
