| Abstract: |
Surveys were carried out in the different VDCs of Manang and Mustang districts to identify the existing
production system of Bhyanglung sheep. A total of 22 farmers in Mustang and 15 farmers in Manang
district who have been involving in Bhyanglung sheep rearing were interviewed on existing production and
reproduction performances, feeding situation, and marketing system ofBhyanglung sheep. Similarly, 45 and
40 (male and female) were measured for their morphological characteristics in Mustang and Manang
districts respectively. Survey revealed that average population of sheep per household was 84.5±21.45 and
8.0 -±1.47 for Mustang and Manang district, respectively. In both districts sheep population was found in
declining trend due to lack of pasture market problem of wool, restriction on movement of the flocks with
the Chinese occupation of Tibet and sheepherding problem, internal and external parasite burden and
diseases. Average birth weight, 61h month weight, yearling weight and adult weight of male and female was
recorded 1.71 ± 0.15, 0.98 ± 0.02, 13.66 ± 0.49, 11.83 ± 0.60, 18.3 ± 1.53, 15.4 ± 1.05, and 27.9 ± 2.23,
23.6 ± 2.29 kg in Mustang district, respectively. Likewise, average birth weight, 6th month weight, yearling
weight and adult weight of male and female was recorded 2.62 ± 0.23, 2.25 ± 0.023, 9.75 ± 3.32, 8.75 ±
3.03, 17.3 ± 4.38, 16 ± 4.83, and 25.5 ± 3.32, 23.5 ± 3.84 kg for Manang district, respectively. There was
highly significant {P<O.OOl) difference in birth weight between sex and districts. Average annual wool
production of individuals (male and female) was noted to be 1.21 ±1.06, 0.7 ± 0.8 kg and l.l ± 1.25g, 0.85
± 0.22 kg in Mustang and Manang district, respectively which and was found significant difference
~P=0.008) on sex. The average age of first service, weight at first service, lambing percentage and kidding
mterval was found to be 12 ± 1.83 months, 10 ± 2.65 months, 15 ± 4.72 kg, 15 ± 4.54 kg, 74.6 ± 4.2 %, 95
± 4.04 % and 7 ± 0.1 months, 6.5 ± 0.1 months for Mustang and Manang districts, respectively. |
