Abstract: Under the same barn feeding and grass fodder, the hybrid utilization effects and progeny performance of some main introduced varieties like Suffolk sheep, Dorper sheep, Texel sheep and Dorset sheep which presently existed or have been crossed and improved in Ningxia were compared and analyzed. Results showed that hybrid progenies of the varieties all had features of fast growth rate, high forage reward and good meat production and reproductive performance, especially the meat production and reproductive performance of Dorper sheep' hybrid progenies were more obvious than the other varieties.
