Description
Summary:One of the main concerns in the Cindrel Basin is represented by the attempts to increase the value of the mountainous pastures with the help of the Turcana breed of sheep. The area known as Marginimea Sibiului (the villages which surround the city of Sibiu) has developed on the slopes of the Cindrel Mountains and it has become a pastoral area of national interest. The concerns of the “Institute of Research-Development for Montanology Cristian – Sibiu” (ICDM Cristian-Sibiu) regarding the improvement of these pastures in time aim at: enhancing the green mass yield, ameliorating the floristic composition and encouraging the conversion of quality animal products. The results of the research are interesting both from a theoretical and especially from a practical point of view, as farmers and their associations can adopt them in order to increase their income and to obtain original brands for their products, which could become competitive both in the domestic and foreign markets.
