THE SEASONALITY AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF SHEEP MILK PRODUCTION - A CASE STUDY IN KARAKUL BREED, ROMANIA by Iuliu-Gabriel MALOS, Gabriela MALOS

“…These research endeavors are original and pursued two objectives: firstly, the analysis of production performance as aforementioned, and secondly, the improvement of this breed aiming to increase milk production, although the breed is known for its specialization in skin production, the marketing of which has become problematic both in Romania and in traditionally sheep-rearing countries. The method used to determine milk production was the "Bi-monthly coefficient control method, which allows for the determination of milk production both during the suckling period for ewes with lambs and after weaning the lambs". …”
