Abstract
A study on evaluation and morphological characterization of Pattanam and
Ramnad White sheep breed, distributed in Ramanathapuram, Pudukottai,
Sivagangai, Madurai and Dinigul districts of Tamil Nadu state, was
undertaken in the farmers’ flocks during the year 2019.The present study
shows that the colour, horn pattern and body confirmation are entirely
different for both the breeds.Owing to the growing preference among the
farmers and larger size of the Pattanam sheep breed it would be
advantageous to the farmers if the sheep breed is registered soon. And so, it
will be helpful for researchers to enhance genetic improvement in this
breed and the economic status of those farmers can be improved.
