“…DM content of the pellet was measured by overnight drying of the samples at 105°C in the oven. After that, the sample’s ash content was measured by further burning in a muffle furnace at 500°C for 4 h. The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) composition were analyzed using the method described by Ahmed et al [ 5 ]. The chemical composition (%) of the pellet feed is given in Table 1 .…”

“…In tropical and subtropical regions, it forms an integral component of the farming system to fulfill animal protein demand through meat production [ 3 , 4 ]. In Bangladesh, goats stands as second in number after cattle population [ 5 , 6 ], and are mainly used for meat production purposes. Their skin is also a valuable byproduct that earns appreciable foreign currencies [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Islam et al (2016) studied sheep feeding, feeding hours, health care -vaccinated, and anthelmintic in coastal region sheep. Ahmed et al (2018) studied lamb production potentiality and growth performance daily gain in three regional native sheep and found coastal sheep more potential. Islam et al (2018) learned indigenous sheep from twelve Upazilas phenotypic, productive and reproductive potential and identified significant variations in production and reproduction characteristics excepting their scrotal circumference.…”

The purpose of this study was to review the existing literature on some important morphological traits associated with reproductive and productive performance in Bangladeshi indigenous and exotic cross sheep. Sheep as small ruminants are essential parts of the crop-livestock of the mixed agricultural farming system playing a crucial role in the livelihood of smallholders in Bangladesh. They are considered risk averters for farmers in a family crisis and seasonal needs through quick sale by direct cash income. Furthermore, their physical products have socio-economic, cultural, and nutritional values: meat, milk, skin, manure, etc. In the past, a number of researchers investigated the relationship between morphometric features and reproductive and productive performance of the referred sheep. Any compilation report is yet not available. Therefore, an update database on Bangladeshi indigenous and exotic cross-breed sheep is required to identify for management and production strategy program. This paper reviewed, discussed, summarized, and compared all articles on morphometric traits and the reproductive and productive performances of sheep in Bangladesh.

“…The native sheep (Ovis aries) of Bangladesh originated from the wild Urial (Ovis Orientalis Vignei) of Asia. In the country, most sheep are of indigenous types which reared in Barind, Jamuna basin, and Coastal areas [1]. The traditional rearing system causes reduced meat production and poor reproductive performance, which causes economic losses of the sheep farmers [2].…”

The present research was conducted to assess the reproductive performance, health management, and marketing system of native sheep in selected areas of Bangladesh. The data was collected from selected 11 Upazilas of 6 districts in Bangladesh. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect data from 1768 sheep rearing farmers by using a simple random sampling technique and analyzed descriptively. The study denoted that the age at 1 st heat or puberty was 7.01±0.03 months. However, the age at 1 st lambing was found 12.65±0.03 months irrespective of areas. The litter size was found 1.93±0.01 and the highest was in Balagonj (2.17±0.04) Upazila. Moreover, the average birth weight was 0.94±0.01 kg and the highest was in Companygonj (1.76±0.04 kg) followed by Subornochar (1.63±0.18 kg) Upazila. The service per conception rate was 1.10±0.01. Most of the farmers (60.18%) were used own ram 100% of farmers were used natural breeding for breeding practice. The sheep rearing farmers in the study areas were found moderately aware of different neo-natal nourishment practices. However, only 6.39% of farmers in different study areas found dipping of their sheep. The sheep mostly affected by pneumonia (43.72%), diarrhea (40.33%), alopecia (28.51%), bloat (22.79%), and parasitic infection (15.55%) found in the study areas. The dog bite (15.55%) was found a major problem in native sheep rearing irrespective of the study areas. Only 28.51% and 12.56% of farmers were used anthelmintic and vaccine respectively. Most of the farmers sell their sheep in the hat/Bazar (82.75%) and 60.46% of farmers sell sheep to paiker or bapari followed by the butcher (22.33%). Furthermore, most of the farmers (82.28%) fixed value for the sheep on the basis of eye estimation. There was no record of wool selling irrespective of study areas. Lack of organized and structured marketing system found in the study areas. Emphasis should be given to the sustainable improvement of native sheep and marketing systems to improve the livelihoods of rural poor farmers in Bangladesh.
