Abstract
Sheep farming is a central component of animal production in Algeria, particularly in steppe and semi-arid regions where flock management depends on variable grazing resources. This book examines the development and organisation of sheep production systems, the geographical distribution of flocks and the characteristics of indigenous breeds. It describes major Algerian sheep populations, including Ouled Djellal, Hamra, Rembi and D'man, with attention to their morphology, adaptation and conservation. The final section addresses zootechnical performance through milk production and composition, lamb growth and reproductive parameters. Together, these topics provide a structured overview of sheep production and breed diversity in Algeria.
