Abstract
   Research on body size, body weight and growth rate of F1 lambs obtained from mating specialized breeders for meat production with reform female Karakul of Botoșani was carried out by determination from birth, after identifying the lambs. The measurements were performed at birth, at 30 days, at 90 days and 180 days.
   Measurements were made for body dimensions of F1 lambs in terms of height at the withers, height at the back, chest circumference and depth of the thorax. These measurements were performed within the reference time intervals, respectively at birth, at 30 days and at 90 days.
   The processing of obtained data was performed with the help of computer calculation application MsExcel 2007. Also, for the statistical processing of obtained data was used the algorithm Analysis of variables (ANOVA Single Factor) included in the MsExcel package. Also, ANOVA makes a clear introduction in the causal analysis: the cause variable (independent) is the qualitative one and the effect variable (dependent) is the metric one.
   In order to highlight the results obtained in terms of meat production skills of F1 lambs obtained by mating females of the Karakul de Botoșani breed with specialized breeders for meat production, the results were compared with those obtained by the lambs of Karakul de Botoșani breed.
