METHODS OF SELECTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF UKRAINIAN CARPATHIAN MOUNTAIN SHEEP
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2016, Vol 40, Issue 330
Abstract
The work leading to creation of a new breed - Carpathian Ukrainian mountain sheep with high quality mixed carpet wool cover came to an end in 1993. It was achieved by breeding local ewes with thick wool covers with Tsigai breed rams. In terms of milk yield and wool quality the new breed was significantly more valuable than sheep of local breeds. At the same time they adapted well to the specific mountain climate and management system. In the current situation of rapid decrease in demand for wool, the breed is still competitive due to universal production objectives and possibility of using not only its good quality wool but also milk and sheep meat. The current direction of improvement is raising milk yield in the sheep of this breed.
