Abstract Selecting proper animal genotype that suits particular environment, management systems, market requirements and food processing is a fundamental step to achieve efficiency in livestock operations. Thus, this study compared the performance and meat quality of the fat-tailed, Akkaraman (AKK) and crossbred, Anatolian Merino (AMR) lambs under the feeding systems of annual forage mixture (AFM), perennial pastures (PAS) or concentrated-based (CON). There were no consistent breed differences for liveweight gain (LWG) but AKK lambs that were fed AFM had greater NDF intake and digestibility than AMR lambs (P
