National audienceIn dairy sheep, the feeding strategy is collective with the aim of adjusting the inputs to the average needs of the flock and not to the individual need of the sheep. The experiments conducted by INRA in the Lacaune breed showed that the genetic selection done in this context improved the gross feed efficiency, with an increase in the intake capacity and a better ability to mobilize body reserves. We analyzed the relationship between the genetic improvement and evolution of the breeding systems using data from 35,800 technical and economic assessments carried out on the farms of the Roquefort area from 1990 to 2012. For the last 20 years, the voluntary limitation of the expression of milk productivity of the ewes has lowere...
