title: [Ecological adaptability of Suffolk sheep and Polled Dosert sheep introduced from Australia to Xinjiang and their hybrid utilization].
abstract: The physiological characters, reproductive rate and comprehensive adaptability of Suffolk sheep and Polled Dosert sheep introduced from Australia to Xinjiang Region were measured. The results showed that the Suffolk sheep and the Polled Dosert sheep were similar or higher than those in Australia in productive rate, and body weight. The comprehensive adaptability of Suffolk sheep and Polled Dosert sheep were 98.80% and 98.74%, respectively.
