Description

The aim of this Task Force is to gather information, diagnose the initial situation and initiate possible technical reports. Determine a plan and carry out dissemination and outreach work. Prepare reports on proposals for selection and improvement of the Carranzana breed based on factors such as rusticity, adaptation to the environment, grazing capacity, production quality and others. Prepare reports on proposals for selection and improvement of shepherd dogs (Border Collie). Carry out tasks for selection and improvement of the genealogical line in relation to the objectives of the project. Prepare reports on the situation of the wolf.

Objectives

The objective is to adapt a management model and implement technology that reduces the impact of wolf attacks in at least two pilot farms of small ruminants, that reduces the hours of work dedicated to the control and protection of herds in the presence of wolves and to carry out proper dissemination that reaches at least 1,400 farmers who are likely to have herds of small ruminants and problems with wolves.
