Consideration of breeding objectives in small ruminants used for vegetation control and landscape maintenance

Martyniuk E., Olech W.

The paper describes different possibilities of utilisation of small ruminants for vegetation control and landscape maintenance, and impact of such services on the environment. Some attempts to estimate value of environmental services are presented and difficulties to link quality of the service to traits measurable in livestock are analysed. The possible breeding objectives in production systems combining environmental services with slaughter lamb production are discussed.
