Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of
breed on reaction speed (temperament) in sheep from the
Junín region, Peru - 2023. The sample consisted of 60 sheep
of the breeds “Junín”, “Corriedale” and “Criollo”. A distance of 5
meters was measured with a polypropylene blanket that served
as a passageway for the animal. Two people were selected to
be in charge of the start and end of the stretch, the latter
was timed with a stopwatch. It was observed that the sheep
obtained 3.02 ± 0.11 reaction speed in m/s different from that
reported by the breeds Junin and Corriedale, which obtained
2.44 ± 0.11 and 1.37 ± 0.19 reaction speed in m/s, respectively.
It was concluded that reaction speeds in sheep vary according
to breed, with animals with higher speeds being considered
nervous and those with lower speeds being considered docile
