Abstract
Relevance. Merino sheep have horns, their uterus is hornless. In recent years, for practical reasons, many countries are breeding for hornless.
Methods. The article gives the results based on many years of observations and analysis on the phenomenon of hornless in the new meat breed “Etti Merino” created in southeastern Kazakhstan, the connection of hornless with productivity and the positive effect of selection on hornlessness on the breed.
Results. The use of hornless sheep-producers gave a positive result, live weight increased, slaughter indicators, and wool productivity improved.
