L’embouche ovine est une activité de plus en plus pratiquée. Cependant, les résultats restent mitigés. Cette étude avait pour objectif d’améliorer les performances zoo-économiques de l’embouche ovine dans deux villages (Sian et Fanka) de la région du Centre-Nord du Burkina Faso. Trois lots de 19, 20 et 21 béliers ont été utilisés. Les animaux du lot 1 ont été alimentés aux rations paysannes. Les ovins du lot 2 ont reçu la ration améliorée composée de 50% de paille de sorgho, 20% de fanes de niébé et 30% d’Aliment Concentré embouche ovine-INERA (AC-INERA). Ceux du lot 3 ont bénéficié de la ration améliorée comprenant 50% de paille de sorgho et 50% de AC-INERA. Les Gains Moyens Quotidiens des béliers du lot 2 (89,59 g/animal) et du lot 3 (86,06 g/animal) ont été significativement (P< 0,05) plus élevés que ceux du lot 1 (70,65 g/animal). Une marge bénéficiaire moyenne de 10876 F CFA par tête a été dégagée avec les animaux du lot 2 contre respectivement 9474 F CFA et 5963 F CFA pour les ovins des lots 3 et 1. L’étude a montré qu’il est possible d’allier performance pondérale et performance économique à partir d’une meilleure valorisation des ressources locales. English title: Effect of the use of improved rations on the zoo-economic profitability of sheep fattening in the North-Center region of Burkina Faso Sheep fattening is an activity that is increasingly practiced. However, results remain mixed. The objective of this study was to improve the zoo-economic performance of sheep fattening in two villages (Sian and Fanka) in the North-Center region of Burkina Faso. Three groups of 19, 20 and 21 rams were used. The animals in group 1 were fed with farmer's rations. The animals in group 2 received the improved ration composed of 50% sorghum straw, 20% cowpea tops and 30% concentrated sheep feed from INERA. Those in group 3 benefited from the improved ration comprising 50% sorghum straw and 50% concentrated sheep feed from INERA. The average daily gain of rams in group 2 (89.59 g/animal) and group 3 (86.06 g/animal) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those in group 1 (70.65 g/animal). An average profit margin of 10876 F CFA per head was obtained with the animals of group 2, compared to 9474 F CFA and 5963 F CFA for the sheep of groups 3 and 1, respectively. The study showed that it is possible to combine weight performance and economic performance through better use of local resources.
