“…Lengths of milking-only and suckling periods were similar to previous values reported by Djemali et al (2009) for both milking-only length (139 ± 47 days) and suckling length (104 ± 22 days). The low production performances observed in this study for the Sicilo-Sarde breed comparatively to Lacaune breed (on average 290 l of milk during 165 days; Carta et al, 2009) and Sarda breed (on average 203 l and 162 days for milk yield and milking period; Carta et al, 2009) could be due to the orientation of farmers to manage the Sicilo-Sarde breed as a dual-purpose or meat sheep.…”

“…The suckling length and lactation length were 100.4 days (±24.9) and 233.2 days (±44.5), respectively ( Table 1). The TMM was lower than those reported by Moujahed et al (2009) and Djemali et al (2009) who reported that Sicilo-Sarde breed produced respectively between 60 and 120 kg per year and 89 ± 47 l per lactation. This result indicated that the producing ability of the studied Sicilo-Sarde population has been declining over the last years.…”

“…Different types of development initiatives are underway to increase the added value of rare or local breeds (e.g., Gandini and Oldenbroek 2007;Djemali et al 2009;Gandini et al 2010;Herold et al 2010;Lauvie et al 2011, Lauvie andCouix 2012): Production of a particular food product from the local breed, which links the breed with a particular farming system, exploits the specific aptitudes of the breed in specific areas (e.g., mountainous areas, marshland, humid grasslands) or regional identity. Lambert-Derkimba et al (2006) showed how the link between a local breed and a product with a protected designation of origin (PDO) label, via product specification, gives added value to the product and, conversely, how the breed benefits from the development of the product.…”
