Article Synopsis
- Small ruminants, particularly the Sahelian goat and Ladem sheep, hold cultural significance in Mauritania, with a study conducted in 2019 involving 45 breeders to characterize their breeding systems.
- The study revealed that breeding is mostly done by men (55%) and women (45%), with breeds either focused on goats, sheep, or both, averaging herd sizes of about 20 animals each.
- Morphological measurements showed Sahel goats range from 20-43 kg and Ladem sheep from 25-62 kg, with distinct breeding goals in milk and meat production prompting tailored selection schemes for improvement.
