REDUCING THE EFFECTS OF OVERGRAZING IN TURCANA SHEEP BREED THROUGH SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF PLANT RESOURCES
Abstract
Sheep farms in the Banat Mountain area, to be economically efficient, need to use the plant resources of the pasture at optimal parameters, without degrading natural environmental factors through good consumption management practices. The new models of sustainable management of the use of plant resources for sheep feed are intended to contribute to reducing the impact of sheep exploitation on pastures on the natural environment through good practices for obtaining efficient meat and milk production from ?urcana sheep breed, which has good adaptability to these production systems. The sustainable management models proposed for implementation to reduce the effects of exploitation on the natural environment use new types of grazing, intensively managed through efficient control of grazing rotation on the soles or using alternative feeds to balance rations depending on the level of forecasted production. Due to the high degree of adaptability of the ?urcana sheep breed to classical and alternative production systems for obtaining meat and milk in the mountainous Banat area by implementing new sustainable management measures and good practices for the use of plant resources through grazing, production can be increased and adapted according to the requirements of the processing industry and the needs of consumers on the market without the degradation of natural environmental factors through overgrazing. Reducing the effects of overgrazing through good practices and management models for the use of plant resources on pastures will contribute to improving productivity in sheep through measures to strengthen the management of nutritional quality, by balancing rations according to the yielding potential of pastures, and by avoiding their degradation through overgrazing.
