End of milk production was considered when ewes produced less than 200 mL. Total milk produced was 1,242.88 L. Average production per day/ewe was. 547 L. Milking days of the selected ewes was 106. It was observed that the amount of milk produced and the number of milking days was similar to production reported for some milking breeds.} }
