A research had been made in three areas at the Syrian Cost where Al Awassi race is
grown; these areas are (Arab Al Mulk, Dwer Al Khateeb, Bekhdarmow). The number of
Al Awassi there reaches to (439) heads. The research was started at 2/11/2009, and
a
random sample of (82)was selected from each area (33-27-22) in a row, and measured
were at the day number (30-90-150) during the season milking, and completed at 4/3/2010.
Results showed at the second phase of day (90) a high measurements of udder which
meets the maximum standards of milk production, and the udder specification had a
significant impact on all forms of the mammary gland (20,01), as well as the nipple
specification, order of milking season, and age had impact on the nipple's size (20,01), but
not on the length of it, but the season milking and age had effect on udder height above the
ground (20,001).
Results showed a correlation which is not fixed between the udder specifications and
quantity of milk as well as a weak and positive relationship between the amount of milk
and nipple measurements in the order of (r=0.33, r=0.49, r=0.19, r=0.27).
