Abstract (2. Language): 
Bu çalışmada cinsel davranış özelliklerinin yaş dönemlerine göre değişiminin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Hayvan materyalini ortalama 6 aylık 32 baş Norduz erkek toklusu oluşturmuştur. Otuz iki Norduz erkek toklusu cinsel performans testlerine maruz bırakılmıştır. Cinsel performans testleri 14 günde bir tekrarlanmıştır. Ancak 12 ile 13 aylık yaş dönemleri arasında bir test yapılmıştır. Erkek toklular bireysel olarak 15 dk süreyle 1-3 kızgın koyunla test edilmiştir. Toplam 14 cinsel performans testi yapılmıştır. Norduz erkek toklularında flehmen, genital organları koklama, kuyruk kaldırma, ses çıkarma, biniş sayısına ilişkin tanımlayıcı değerler sırasıyla 1.15±0.07, 4.41±0.18, 0.76±0.07, 8.08±0.44, 10.79±0.52 ve biniş süresine ilişkin en küçük kareler ortalaması ise 1.34±0.12 dk olarak bulunmuştur. Bulgular, cinsel davranış özelliklerinin yaşa göre değişiminin son derece düzensiz olduğunu göstermektedir.

Abstract (Original Language): 
The aim of this study was to detect variations in several sexual behaviors of Norduz ram lambs based on age. A total of 32 approximately six-month-old Norduz ram lambs were subject to 13 sexual behavior tests performed at 14-day intervals and an additional test performed one month after the last bi-weekly test, 14 tests a total. Tests consisted of individually exposing lamb rams to 1-3 estrus ewes (stimulus female) for 15-minute periods. The basic statistics for the lip curl response, the anogenital sniffing, the raising of tail, the vocalization, the mount frequency (number of mounts) and the least square mean for mount duration were found to be 1.15±0.07, 4.41±0.18, 0.76±0.07, 8.08±0.44, 10.79±0.52 and 1.34±0.12 minutes, respectively. Findings indicated irregular variations in sexual behaviors of Norduz ram lambs based on age.
