| Summary : |
1. Differenciate Segureno sheep livestock production in semiextensive system by the use of pastable natural resources:
1.1 Describe the volatile and polyphenolic profiles of grazing plant materials as possible precursors of the differential attributes of Segureno sheep health, welfare, and production quality.
1.2 .- Differenciate the sheep livestock production quality in both annual lambing, considering that animals have grazed on foothill shrubs corresponding to spring/summer lambing- or cereal stubble pasture and legume forage -autumn lambing-.
1.3. Determine the Segureno sheep health and animal welfare improvements induced by semiextensive grazing.
2.- Through the introduction of distillate sage leaves as a functional ingredient to increase the meat quality and to evaluate its effect on animal health and welfare.
3.- Promote semiextensive livestock as a means of agricultural and food production for biodiversity conservation in forests and comprehensive land use. Promote the rural population development and settlement in marginal areas.
