The aim of this study was to follow the process of adaptation of the breed Mouton Charolais in Bulgaria, with a view to utilise it for obtaining good quality lambs meat and for the purpose of pure and crossbreeding.
The experimental animals were from the farm of the Institute of Agricultural Science – St. Zagora. They have been imported from France for the period 2003-2006 (4 imports) with conception at 7-10 months of age in France. Animals born in Bulgaria were, also, included in the analysis. The fertility and average daily gain up to 30-th day were studied.
It was established that the fertility, live weight and average daily gain up to 30-th day were similar to those of the breed in France, which is an indicator of good adaptation under the conditions of our country.
