Extension Service Activity in Sheep and Goat Farms

Carasso Y.

Sheep and goat production for meat and milk is one of oldest agricultural branches. Approximately 2,050 families raise small ruminants. Sheep and goat farms are mainly located on Kibbutzim, collective moshav, and Arabic farms. Tnuva collect sheep milk from 111 breeders and goat's milk from another 30 herds. Producers demand for know-how and reveal high rates of its adoption and application. The Extension Service is a professional system providing technical advisory services in a wide array of domains. The Service collates and collects the results of research, analyses them and transfers them to the farmers, making sure that they are successfully implemented. Together with the technical field of Tnuva, the Services are working hard to improve the quality of milk. There is pressure to privatize the Extension Service because the idea is that breeders will have to support partially the cost.
