Brief Update on Research in Nutrition of Dairy Sheep
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dairy sheep may take advantages from all aspects of research conducted in the field of animal science and biology. There are, however, laboratories that specifically work in that field and have a direct objective of improvement of dairy sheep breeding. In the field of nutrition, an important body of work has been done in a collaborative EEC project involving France (INRA ; Barillet and Bocquier, 1993), Spain (UA-Barcelona), and Italy (IZCS-Sardegna). Agricultural EEC policy is oriented toward research that may improve the sustainability of a Mediterranean dairy sheep population of more than 70 million ewes.
