In article the condition of branch of sheep breeding in the Razdolnensky area is described. The attention is accented at breeding plant "Slavnoye".
Sheep breeding in the Razdolnensky area
Now in the world about 850 breeds of sheep, the majority from which, improved are. On hozyaystvenno useful signs of breed of sheep divide on: sherstny, meat, sherstno-meat, karakulsky. In turn the sherstny – on tonkorunny sheep, polutonkorunny, grubosherstny. The most widespread in the South of Ukraine and in the Crimea – polutonkorunny breed cigaj. On cultivation of tsigaysky breed operates 5 plemzavodov, one of which – JSC PZ "Nice" – is in our Razdolnensky area. At the AGRO-2008 exhibition passing in June of last year in Kiev, breeding rams of this enterprise won first place among sheep of all plemzavodov Ukraine. Other breeding enterprise of our area – KFH "Kotovsk" which has presented the sheep at a festival Tavriysky fleeces – 2008, was noted by the Certificate of honor.
Both enterprises conduct serious selection and breeding work. For wider use of a valuable genofund of the best manufacturing rams 100 %-e artificial insemination are used. Thanks to it it was possible to finish clipped wool on one sheep (one of most often being used indicators of efficiency of branch) in JSC PZ of 3,8 kg "Nice" to level, and in KFH "Kotovsk" – to 4,6 kg.
Sheep breeders of breeding plant "Slavnoye" are rich with the traditions which were put in due time by the Hero of Socialist work, it is a lot of years leading enterprise Alexander Grigoryevich Gavrilov. Now its business is continued by livestock specialist selector Lyudmila Ivanovna Gavrilova. This branch and in ChSP "Karakash" (chairman F.U.Karakash) where the livestock makes about one and a half thousand heads successfully develops.
In boundless steppes of the Razdolnensky area in the recent past more than 100 thousand heads of sheep were grazed. Today in all categories of their farms there were here more than 25 thousand. Many sheep contain in personal farms. And in recent years the livestock stably increased that we connect with successful implementation of the program of the grant from the Government budget of Ukraine for a gain and an available livestock of ewes and is bright is more senior than one year. Thanks to the same program the area managed to execute the annual plan of identification and registration of sheep for 145 %.
Now in work of sheep breeders one of the most responsible periods – okot. On the operational information arriving in regional management of agroindustrial development, lambs are born strong and healthy, many ewes bring twins, and even triplets. It was promoted by favorable weather conditions which allowed animals to be practically all winter on a pasture, to consume enough of forages of high quality.
I wish to all sheep breeders of successes in their hard work, to receive a strong issue that becomes a good reserve for production during the whole year.
