In this study, Path analysis was used to determine the direct andindirect effects of some morphological traits such as wither height,sacrum height, body length, chest depth, chest girth and chest widthon the weaning weight of sheep. The data was obtained from 200heads of Awassi lambs raised in Gaziantep province. The results ofthe path analysis indicated that the variants of sacrum height andbody length sustained the most significant effect on the weaningweight. Consequentely, chest girth and body length were the mostfavorable measurements to estimate weaning weight in Awassi andcould be used as a reliable criteria for practical selection in Awassilambs.
