  • 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.

  • Dormer Manual
    Dormer Manual Revised Edition 2016 1 2 1. THE ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DORMER BREED The Dormer is a South African bred white wool mutton sheep developed after years of intensive research at the Elsenburg Agricultural College from the crosses of Dorset Horn rams and German Merino ewes. The purpose of the development of the breed was to breed an early maturing sheep breed that can produce affordable meat at an early age, that would be well adapted to conditions in the winter rainfall area and that could compete with Australian and New Zealand lambs at the Smithfield market in England. The further purpose was to produce suitable rams for cross breeding, especially with the Merino and it was therefore decided to create a white wool mutton breed, free of kemp and coloured fibres. 2. SLAUGHTER LAMB TRIALS AT ELSENBURG Since 1927, for more than 10 years, rams of the following breeds were mated to Merino ewes which were the most readily available at the time: Dorset Horn, Border Leicester, Ryeland, Romney Marsh, South Down, Suffolk Down, (British mutton breeds) as well as Texel, Corriedale, German Merino and Blackhead Persian. Thereafter German Merino X Merino ewes were mated to Dorset Horn rams and it was found that the progeny were heavier than any other cross lambs. The above results gave rise to the mating of German Merino ewes to Dorset Horn rams. In addition to the unique traits of German Merino ewes, they could also, like the Merino and Dorset Horn, easily lamb in the fall with an acceptable lambing percentage.
