| dc.description.abstract | This work focuses on the study of the impact of small ruminantsbreeding in oasis agriculture in the Oued-Righvalley in south-eastern Algeria. Fifty (50) farms maintaining livestock were surveyed using a questionnaire. A principal component analysis (ACP) was performed to determine the typology of the farms studied, using structural and operational variables. Based on ten (10) variables including three qualitative (type of exploitation according to status, prophylaxis and coverage of the animal by food) and seven (07) quantitative (age, area of farms, forage area, organic matter used, organic matter purchased, number of goat heads, number of sheep heads), three types of farms were identified. Type 1 comprises 33 farms (66%), with an area of 0.5 to 2 hectares and an average of 5.6 heads of animals per farm. Type 2 comprises seven farms (14%), with an area of 2.5 to 19 hectares and an average of four heads of animals per farm. Type 3 comprises 10 farms (20%), with an area of 5.2 to 19 hectares and an average of seven animals per farm. The study showed that the farms studied are impacted by the lack of organic matter from their livestock, used in the amendment of their crops, due to the regression in the number of livestock and the narrowness of livestock areas. | |
