  • The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain
    The 'Wild' Sheep of Britain </. C. Greig and A. B. Cooper Primitive breeds of sheep and goats, such as the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, could be in danger of disappearing with the present rapid decline in pastoral farming. The authors, both members of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Edinburgh University, point out that, quite apart from their historical and cultural interest, these breeds have an important part to play in modern livestock breeding, which needs a constant infusion of new genes from unimproved breeds to get the benefits of hybrid vigour. Moreover these primitive breeds are able to use the poor land and live in the harsh environment which no modern hybrid sheep can stand. Recent work on primitive breeds of sheep and goats in Scotland has drawn attention not only to the necessity for conserving them, but also to the fact that there is no organisation taking a direct scientific in- terest in them. Primitive livestock strains are the jetsam of the Agricul- tural Revolution, and they tend to survive in Europe's peripheral regions. The sheep breeds are the best examples, such as the sheep of Ushant, off the Brittany coast, the Ronaldsay sheep of Orkney, the Shetland sheep, the Soay sheep of St Kilda, and the Manx Loaghtan breed. Presumably all have survived because of their isolation in these remote and usually infertile areas. A 'primitive breed' is a livestock breed which has remained relatively unchanged through the last 200 years of modern animal-breeding techniques. The word 'primitive' is perhaps unfortunate, since it implies qualities which are obsolete or undeveloped.

  • Türkiye Ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme
    U. Ü. ZİRAAT FAKÜLTESİ DERGİSİ, 2009, Cilt 23, Sayı 2, 79-95 (Journal of Agricultural Faculty of Uludag University) Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme Oktay Gürsoy1 1Çukurova Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Zootekni Bölümü, Adana e-mail: [email protected] Özet: Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde küçükbaş hayvancılık sektöründe örgütlenme gerek yüksek damızlık değere sahip hayvanların eldesi amacıyla damızlık yetiştiriciler birliği, gerekse girdilerini ucuza temin etmek, ürünlerini hakça fiyatlara değerlendirmek, sivil toplum örgütü olarak baskı potansiyeline sahip olmak amaçlı yetiştiriciler birliği veya kooperatifi şeklindedir. Bu örgütlerin geçmişi Büyük Britanya İmparatorluğunda 18. yüzyıl başına dayanmakta olup, günümüzde benzer yapılanma Avrupa Birliği, Amerika, Kanada, Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda’da çok yaygındır. Ülkemizde tarımsal örgütlenmenin geçmişi çok yakındır ve bunun içinde de örgütlenmenin en düşük olduğu sektörler koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğidir. Örgütlenmenin yararları hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayan ve son derece geleneksel bir üretim yapısına sahip olan bu sektörlerin sürdürülebilirliği beklenemez ve bu kaçınılmaz süreç 1980 yıllarından beri çok hızlı bir biçimde işleyerek koyun ve keçi varlıklarında sırası ile % 45 ve % 65 lik düşüşlere neden olmuştur. Koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğinin desteklenmesi, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerine (EU/CAP, No:2529/2001; CAP REFORMU 2003) göre çok düşük düzeylerde, ülkemizde süt sığırcılığına göre son derece önemsiz destekleri içermektedir. Avrupa Birliği’nin 1962 yılında başlattığı CAP (Ortak Tarım Politikaları) desteğinin hareket noktası, koyun ve keçi yetiştiricilerinin, tarımın diğer kesimlerine göre çok düşük düzeylerde yıllık gelirlere sahip olmaları ve bu sektörlerin kayıplarını karşılayarak bulundukları yörelerde tutmaktır. Bu uygulama, yetiştiricilerin kırsaldan kente göçünü ve onun beraberinde getirdiği sosyo-ekonomik sorunları baştan durdurmak ve küçükbaş hayvancılığın çok özel ve kıymetli ürünlerinin üretimini sürdürülebilir kılmaktır.

  • Tracing the Problems Faced by British Rare Breed Producers
    Tracing the problems faced by British rare breed producers What’s the real issue behind the Horsemeat scandal? The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ revealed a fundamental breakdown in the meat supply chain and a complete disconnection between us, the public, and the food that we eat. 100% traceability is a crucial requirement for protecting our edible biodiversity, an issue particularly relevant to the sheep and cattle industries. Traditional rare breed producers up and down the country are fighting an uphill battle to keep these products on our plates. With the current system favouring larger, fast maturing, commercial breeds, it is up to us to offer the much needed support to these farmers. The ‘Horsemeat Scandal’ showed the scale of the task many of our rare breed producers are facing. However the sensational stories which shocked the nation largely excluded the plight of the small scale producer. It is easy to get hung up about the labelling of horse meat as beef but isn’t it equally scandalous that wonderful British breeds - such as Blue Grey cattle, Old Gloucester cattle and Herdwick Sheep, with all their unique qualities - are being lost in a mountain of nameless meat! At a time when meat consumption is at its highest ever levels, we have a responsibility to be responsible consumers. There has to be a very real and drastic change in the way we think about and buy meat. What can you as the consumer do? At a very basic level, we need to show that there is a demand to know what we’re eating.

Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross. Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors –John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both.

  • Flag Fen: a Natural History
    Flag Fen: A natural history �������� working today ��������������������������� for nature tomorrow Flag Fen booklet.indd 1 16/3/05 3:23:24 pm Nature and wildlife is all around us. Wherever you go, from the remotest islands to the busiest cities, you will find plants and animals in some of the most unlikely places. A world without wildlife would be quite impossible for us to live on. As all forms of life on Earth follow natural cycles, so we humans depend on our plants and animals for food, clothing, medicines and even building materials. All our fruit, vegetables and meat come originally from a natural source, but in this country we are used to buying these products from supermarkets, carefully prepared and packaged. It’s sometimes hard to imagine that the perfectly-formed apples and carrots we see actually grew in an orchard or field! Imagine how much harder it would be if we had to find food for ourselves. Would you be able to find your next meal, or sufficient food to feed your family? Three thousand years ago, long before supermarkets, the people who lived around Flag Fen had to solve these problems every day. Flag Fen is an internationally important archaeological site, which has provided valuable information about Bronze Age people and their environment. Although they were farmers, wild plants and animals played an important part in the day-to- day survival of those early fen folk. 2 Flag Fen booklet.indd 2 16/3/05 3:23:31 pm Scabious flowers at Flag Fen: this former home to ancient Britons is right next to modern houses and modern life – and wildlife thrives here.

  • Survival and Behaviour of Castrated Soay Sheep (Ovis Aries) in a Feral Island Population on Hirta, St
    Sulphur0815 J. Zool., Lond. (1997) 243, 623-636 Survival and behaviour of castrated Soay sheep (Ovis aries) in a feral island population on Hirta, St. Kilda, Scotland P. A. JEWELL Department of Zoology, University of Cumbridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ (Accepted 19 March 1997) (With 5 figures in the text) The free-living population of Soay sheep on the island of Hirta, St. Kilda, in the Outer Hebrides, has been intensively studied since 1959. The present study was initiated to throw light on the causes of the high mortality rate of adult rams in comparison to that of ewes. In 1978, 1979 and 1980, a total of 72 male lambs was castrated within a day or two of birth. The survival of these castrates has been much longer than that of the entire rams, marked as controls, and longer than that of ewes of the cohorts of the same years. The daily activity pattern of the castrates was similar to that of ewes rather than that of rams. In particular, during the rut the castrates spent most of the daylight hours grazing, in contrast to the rams who were continuously moving and involved in agonistic and sexual encounters. This study substantiates the earlier assertion that the costs in energy of reproduction are a major cause of mortality in temperate zone ungulates. The social organization of some castrates was similar to that of females in that they remained with the home-range group of ewes into which they were born, but other individuals resembled males in that these castrates clubbed together in their own groups.
