The effects of some factors on the time to first successful stand up and sucking of native lambs after parturition. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 54(5), 333.0049-47471573-7438http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11250-022-03333-1https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12491/11944This study was supported by Project No 15L0239001 by the Ankara University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit.The study aimed to identify the effects of birth time, birth weight, and the time to first grooming on the time to first successful stand up and sucking of the pure and crossbred native lambs. Data were recorded from pure (22 B-Bafra and 20 AKK-Akkaraman) and crossbred (19 BA F-1 (B x AKK) and 13 BA B-1 (B x F-1)) lambs during the first 3 h after delivery. The time to first successful stand up of lambs was significantly affected by the birth time (P = 0.045), the time to first grooming (P = 0.000), and the time to first successful sucking (P = 0.000). Genotype significantly affects the time to first successful stand up of the lambs born at night (P = 0.000), low birth weight (P = 0.042), the time to first grooming (short, P = 0.001, and prolonged, P = 0.019), and the time to first successful sucking (early, P = 0.041, and late, P = 0.005). Data demonstrated that the time to first successful stand up affected the time to first successful sucking. The time to first successful stand up was longer for the lambs born at night, with low birth weight, and was affected by the time to first grooming, especially for the B lambs. Consequently, it should be given particular importance to the care of lambs born at night with low weight and exposed to mismothering.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLambFirst Stand UpBirth TimeBirth WeightFirst GroomingFirst SuckingArticle10.1007/s11250-022-03333-1545361806042-s2.0-85139186678Q2WOS:000862421300002Q2
