Abstract
It was supervised the increasing of meat quantity at reformed sheep and also the improving of its quality; grazing field adult sheep reformed reconditioning was used therefore obtaining total increases weight variable of 5.76-12.94 kg depending on the breed or population the animals were belonging to, the carcase weight varied between 20.28 and 28.79 kg, achieving at slaughtering a butchery productivity of 42.48-47.4%, variable with the breed and population; at the reconditioning of reformed sheep at permanent stabulation a total benefit of de 5.76-14.65 kg has been obtained, carcases of about 20.28-29.19 kg, achieving at slaughtering a butchery productivity of 42.91-47.9%; at the reconditioning of reformed rams at permanent stabulation a total benefit of de de 7.91-16.94 kg, the carcase weight of 29.28-42.50 kg, butchery productivity of 43.53-45.8%; an obvious improvement of the carcases was noticed, by increasing the ratio of 1st quality meat and increasing the proportion meat/bones.

Key words: reformed sheep, slaughtering yield, reconditioning, carcass weight, permanent stabulation
