Introducing the Lacaune breed:
The Lacaune region in southern France is the origin of the Lacaune sheep breed. This sheep is widely used in the production and sale of dairy products in France. This breed has a population of over 800,000 ewes in France.
It is noteworthy that milk from this breed is often used in the production of Roquefort cheese in France. The Lacaune breed has long been used as a lactating sheep in France.
Lacaune sheep changes:
In the late 1960s, the average milk production per female sheep was only about 70 liters per year during the manual milking period. It should be noted that in the late 1990s, milk production increased to 280 liters per year and up to 400%. Lacaune is currently one of the most productive breeds of dairy sheep in the world. This process is the result of a series of study and support programs by the French government to improve the Lacaune sheep, which has increased farmers’ desire to breed this particular breed.

These breeds reach the age of puberty and standard reproduction at 8 to 9 months, have an average of 70% of twins, and the length of the lactation period is manageable from 5 to 10 months per year. Milk production in this species is 310 to 330 kg in 150 to 167 days (1.9 to 1.2 kg per day – 300 to 440 kg per year) and lambs gain an average of 280 to 330gr weigh gain per day. Experience. The carcass composition at the European Grade A level is without a tail and extra fat and the carcass efficiency is 50 to 53%.

Firooz farm & Lacaune sheep
Iranian native sheep are suitable for grazing and climatic conditions in Iran, but do not have a stable ability to reproduce and their milk production is not as high as Lacaune sheep. Due to this point, Firooz Farm with the help of scientists, has modified Iranian sheep genes. As a result of these activities, Iranian sheep have received genes for multiplication and milk production in Lacan sheep, and at the same time are suitable for living in Iran.
