A study of causes responsible of productivity differences between sheep and goats flocks in a central Malian village belonging to an agropastoral subsystem associated to a rainfed millet culture was carried out from July 1987 to March 1988. Management factors, socio-economic characteristics of shepherd and sheep and goats productivity parameters were simultaneously followed up and analysed. The results have shown that both sheep and goats were not managed in the same manner and that the observed causes of productivity differences between flocks are related to the shepherd personnal production means, to his methods of management of animals, to his apprenticeship of the stock breeder profession and to the detention of other animal species.
