RATIONAL USE OF GENETIC POTENTIAL SHEEP GENE POOL OF DOMESTIC AND IMPORTED IN THE CONDITIONS OF STAVROPOL TERRITORY AND THE SARATOV REGION

Abstract

An important problem of the modern sheep farming is its traditional breeding to increase the productivity of sheep through the use of the genetic potential of domestic and global gene pool. Science-based application of modern breeding methods, perfected production technology will contribute to a higher efficiency of the selection process. One of the most effective methods of increasing production and improving the quality of production of sheep breeding, especially lamb is interbreeding farm animals, including those based on the phenomenon of heterosis manifested in crossbred animals for some economically useful traits. The above was the basis to assess effectively, use of the genetic potential of domestic sheep breeding in Saratov region and manufacturers of domestic and imported commodity herds in the gene pool of the Stavropol region to enhance and improve the quality of meat and wool productivity based on the study of a number of phonotypical signs.
