Abstract
The aim of investigation was to determ whether the growth of horns of young and adult Polish Heath Sheep rams shows the seasonal dependence and is it similar at both of them. An experiment were led on 21 young and adult rams by two years. Three-weekly were measured the increase of horns in four places. Our morphological studies revealed that the horns of rams of Polish Heath Sheep showed intensive changes within the range biometrical features of 16 month of life. At that time follows the graetest increase: lenght of horns, line circuit of horns over the skull, the outside dimeter of horns and the total spread between points of exterior rams horn borders. After this period the hight of horns of young and adult rams characterized much the same rhythm, but still intensive at young rams.
