The overall average of milk production for the improved ewes studied during the study period was (228.66 \u00b1 3.71) kg \/ season\u060c and the fathers had a high significant effect (<em>P<\/em> &lt;0.001) on the total milk yield (TMY)\u060c and the effect of the ewe birth year was significant (<em>P<\/em> &lt;0.05) in milk production\u060c where it gave the highest production in (2019) which was (239.9 \u00b1 51) kg \/ season\u060c and the effect of mother\u2019s age was significant in milk production (p &lt;0.001)\u060c where it gave the highest production at (4) years old (277.28 \u00b1 28) kg \/ season\u060c while it turns out that the weight of the ewes had an insignificant effect (<em>P<\/em>&gt; 0.05) on milk production\u060c and the maximum production amount was (251.29 \u00b1 11) kg \/ season in the weight category more than (60) kg. As for the parity\u060c It had a significant effect (<em>P<\/em> &lt;0.05) in the total production\u060c and the maximum production reached in the third season (288.96 \u00b1 13) kg \/ season\u060c as well as\u060c the type of kidding had a significant effect (<em>P<\/em>&gt; 0.05)\u060c and the production of ewes that gave birth twins lambs exceeded the production of\u00a0 ewes that gave birth to individual lambs (238.25 \u00b1 33) kg \/ season. as for kids kidding\u060c its effect was insignificant on total milk production\u060c and the heritability of milk production was (h<sup>2<\/sup> = 0.24). We conclude from the study that all the studied genetic factors (fathers) and some non-genetic had a significant effect on the total milk production of improved Awassi ewes\u060c which requires continued work for improving them and developing the conditions of care to raise the level of their productive performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Awassi sheep\u060c milk production\u060c fathers\u060c non-genetic factors.<\/p>\n<p>Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v92p9.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghaidaa Jakish * (1) ,Abd Al-Hadi Hatabi (1)and Abdel Nasser Al-Omar (2) (1).
