Abstract

The yearly hair diameter dynamics is essentially different for 4 aboriginal Kazakhstan sheep populations: Edilbay, Saryarka, Chingiz and Chu kept in the experimental farm of F.M.Mukhamedgaliev`s Institute of experimental biology. Saryarka and Edilbay sheep did not show essential hair diameter increase in the summer months but reach the maxima in the autumn months, the autumn to be the most comfortable season for them. The summer months were the most comfortable (maximal hair diameter) for Chu and Chingiz sheep. Hair diameter decrease started in September-October and dropped down to minimum in the February-beginning of March in Edilbay, Saryarka and Chu and by the end of January in Chingiz sheep. The difference between the maximal and minimal diameters is the indicator of general adaptation of sheep populations to seasonal stress factors and maintenance conditions. The minimal difference (the best adaptation) was found in Saryarka sheep – 20% of mean diameter all along the yearly hair length, second position belonged to Edilbay – 30%, third to Chingiz – 37% and the last to Chu – 49%.
