Meat Production in Sheep Hybrids in Agro-Ecological Feeding and Growing Syste

Abstract

Research points out the effect of feeding young hybrid sheep (Black-faced German x Ţurcană) in the conditions of permanent hill grasslands with two technological systems of improving grasslands: the conventional chemical (NPK) fertilisation system and the agro-ecological organic fertilisation (sheep folding and over-sowing) system. Studies show that the changes in the floristic structure of the grasslands have influenced both fodder yield and quality and meat production and quality. Meat production depending on experimental factors ranged between 189 and 393 kg/ha in the grasslands improved conventionally and between 191 and 461 kg/ha in the grasslands fertilised organically.
