The major sheep breeds of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, the Nejdi and Arabi, are described. The fattening performance and carcass characters of 8 yearling rams of each breed were studied and the data tabulated. Owing to the high variation among animals and the small numbers used, most interbreed differences were not significant. Over the 13 wk of the trial, for Nejdi and Arabi resp., av. daily gain was 128.6 and 154.9 g, and food conversion 13.83 and 11.04 g/g gain (P

The genetic structure of three Kazakh sheep breeds was examined by using 12 microsatellite loci. A total of 144 alleles were detected from the 12 STR loci, with a mean value of 12.0. The highest allele diversity was found at the locus CSRD247 (16 alleles). PIC value showed that all studied STR markers are more informative and appropriate for genetic analysis of three Kazakh sheep populations. Beside of INRA006, all markers had high level of genetic variability. As Fixation index shows, the excess of the heterozygosity was observed only in loci MAF065. Obtained number of private alleles in Edilbai, Kazakh Arkhar Merino and Kazakh Fine-wool sheep were 25, 17 and 15 respectively. Genetic diversity was higher in Edilbai population than in other two populations. The genetic variability was lower in Kazakh Arkhar Merino sheep than in the Edilbai and Kazakh Fine-wool sheep breeds. The genetic distance was the largest between Edilbai and Kazakh Arkhar Merinos. Also, the moderate differentiation was observed between Edilbai and Kazakh Arkhar Merinos.
