Project abstract:

 

Sheep rearing, especially for meat production, represents a profitable activity within nowadays conjuncture, for those who have activities, or related goals, in this activity field. In these conditions, the diversity of sheep productions, their low energy consumptions and the nature of fodder that they consume, offers to the growth and exploiting of this species the characteristic of a base, sustainable and perspective activity. There are some favorable conditions that, in a near future, our country should be capable to export higher quantities of sheep meat, so that the incomes of the small investors could grow. The final aim of these researches is to study and identify those ways, methods and techniques that could induce a quantitative and qualitative improvement of meat production in this species, when applied in practice.
