Abstract

Sheep and goats are important species of livestock. They are small ruminants which play an important role in Indian economy and they are a source of livelihood and employment to millions of rural households. Sheep rearing contributes around 8.5 percent of total value of output from livestock agrarian economy especially in the arid and semi-arid and mountainous area where crops and dairy farming are not economical. Sheep rearing in India is an inseparable component of mixed farming system in view of the prevailing socio-economic conditions in the country where per capita land holdings is hardly 0.2 hectares. Sheep in India are predominantly maintained on natural vegetation on common growing lands, waste lands and uncultivated (follow) lands stubbles of cultivated crops and top feeds. The functional contributions of sheep are meat, milk, fibre, skin, etc. Sheep occupy an important place in the agricultural economy of many countries.
