Özet: The aim of this study is to determine the development of the Akkaraman lambs grown in the Cankırı province until the age of four months by weighing them at different periods and prepare the growth curve. The animal material of this study was formed a total of 281 heads of Akkaraman breed lamb from 7 farms, born in 2018, grown in Cankırı province. In this study, average birth, 60, 90 and 120 days weight average were found 4.264 kg, 22.114 kg, 30.147 kg, and 34.950 kg, respectively. In the study, the gender effect on birth weight was not statistically significant (p>0.05), while the effect of type of birth was found statistically significant (p<0.001). The effect of birth type was statistically significant (p<0.05) on 2, 3 and 4 months of age, body weight; the farm conditions had significant effect on birth weight (p<0.001). The determination coefficient (R²) in the improvement of the lambs from birth to 4th month age was found 0.918.
