Title of the paper: <b>Effect of intensive group condition and sex on the oral stereotypes and some behaviourtraits in fattening lambs</b> Oral stereotypes are a kind of the forms of behavioural abnormalities and many husbandry factors can cause thedevelopment of such behaviours in almost all domestic species. In this study, effects of housing based on groupcondition and also sex differences on the development of oral stereotypes were investigated in fattening lambsTen male and ten female Turkgeldi synthetic breed of lambs were used. Animals were assigned to sex groups at   the beginning of the study and housed in pens that consisted of metal feed through and  water buckets on a strawbedded floor during the experiment. Behavioural observations were taken by two observer and time samplingtechnique was- used. Activities such as biting, licking and chewing of through, water bucket and also bars of penwere recorded as oral stereotypes. Generally, it was indicated that intensive group condition in fattening lamb.causes the development of behavioural abnormalities related to nutritional origin. Activities towards the beddingmaterial, standing, lying and wool chewing behaviours were significantly affected by sex. The male lambsshowed more activities in standing and wool licking and wool chewing behaviours than the females while thelying and activity towards the bedding material observed more frequently in the female group. This findingindicated that general activity was high in the male lambs. There was no significant sex effect on the total oralstereotypes. It was concluded that lack of structural materials have an important role in the development of oralstereotypes. In addition some stressful conditions that caused by group housing may also resulted in thedevelopment of such abnormalities especially for the male lambs
