The rural poor farmer is the basis of sheep production in Indonesia. However, sheep production in this country is low. Sheep is traditionally raised at an average of two to five per farmer. Although on a national scale, sheep production ranks the lowest compared to that of other ruminant animals. Sheep is important in relation to the country's present agricultural system. It is a national task to increase the income of the poor farmers either through the intensification or extensification of their farm activities. Hence, a national sheep research and development program was initiated, but it is currently far from reaching the national objectives. More information are needed to be able to formulate a sound technological package that is adoptable under the present farming system.
