RESEARCH REGARDING THE REPRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY OF ROVASI SHEEP

C-tin Pascal, C. Cristian, C. Popescu

Abstract
   The efficiency of animal husbandry depends mainly on how the breeding activity is coordinated and applied at the level of each sheep population. For these reasons, the reproductive function must be intensified, but properly thought out and applied, depending on the particularities of each population, as the success of this activity is directly influenced by the value of reproductive traits.
   Among the ways and practical solutions that do not involve the allocation of large material and financial resources, which can intensify sheep’s reproduction, we list: inducing puberty to use lambs for breeding since early autumn and using the influence of natural factors to create and synchronize heat in sheep adults.
   The end of the research highlights the fact that in all batches the index of reared lambs, which represents the proportion of those weaned from the total calved lambs, had values higher than 96%, except for the group of young belonging to newly formed milk lines where the average value determined for this indicator was 95.62%.
