Abstract:
in order to identify the problem of controlling sheep reproduction in Algeria,
this study allowed us to evaluate the reproductive potential of one of our most
important breeds; it is the "Rembi" breed sheep. The Rembi ewe has very strong
reproductive characteristics and intermediate weight characteristics during the sexual
season (Autumn) and in natural conditions with a slight decrease in fertility (66.7%),
fertility (72%) and a very acceptable Prolificacy rate of (108%) that may be due to
several factors, among them:
-Poor breeding practices resulting from the shepherds' low level of technical
skills. Key words: ewes, Rembi, fertility, fecundity and prolificacy.
-Uncontrolled natural reproduction whether for ram / ewe load, selection, diet
and age of reproduction or age at reform.
