Abstract


Sheep breeding in Southern India especially in the Madras Presidency is in a neglected state. Some people took up the work some years back and conducted experiments for sometime, they gave it up owing to some reason or other. The result was that no improvement has taken place. An idea of the present method of sheep breeding in several tracts will be of some use to realise the main causes of deterioration in sheep. Sheep breeding round about Coimbatore, Salem and Bellary is mainly done by shepherds who live by their flocks.
