Overview : Algerian Local Sheep Breeds Ph.D. Supervisor: Dr. GAOUAR Suheil Ph.D. student Mr. AMEUR Abdelkader

Some informations about Algeria Algeria is the largest country in Africa, is located in the country's far north. With an area of 2,381,741 km2 (80% Sahara) 3 different climate zones, Mediterranean zone Arid (dry) zone Sahara (desert) zone Tunisia morocco Mali Niger

Presentation of the steppe regions Algerian steppe, located between the Tell Atlas in the north and the Saharan Atlas in the South. area of 20 million hectares (200 million Km2) alfa (Stipa tenacissima) and sparte (Lygeum spartum) degradation and desertification of steppe these regions forcing elveur change their places and change all races location

livestock farming systems and Animal breeding in Algeria Algerian farmers have a long tradition in sheep breeding. Sheep comprise one of the most important domestic livestock species in Algeria with more than: 30 million sheep, 5 million goats 3.5 million camels, they play an important role in the livelihood of local community since they are a good source of meat, milk and wool This farming is generally conducted in an extensive production system based on the exploitation of free forage units

Algerian sheep population The population of the sheep breeds in Algeria is about 30. 880. 000 heads (MADR 2015) depend on the richness of genetics resources. Currently, this herd is composed by more than 12 breeds (Ouled Djellal, Rembi, Sidaou, berbere, Ifilène, Barbarine, Hamra, Taâdmit, Srandi, Draan, D’men and Tezegzawt) with various characteristics resistance, prolificacy, productivity of meat, milk and wool, A good adaptability in arid; steppe and Saharan conditions.

Classification of Algerian sheep breeds Three classifications 1857 by Mr Bernis, divided the sheep population into three categories: The Touareg sheep, The fat tail sheep The sheep with wool and normal tail in the west and east of Algeria 1992 by Mr. Chellig, who divided the whole sheep populations into 8 breeds The main breeds: Ouled Djellal, Hamra, Rembi and Taâdmit; The secondary breeds: D'man, Sidaou, Berber and Barbarine 2015 by Mr. GAOUAR, sheep population divided on the total number of individuals High numbers of breeds (Ouled Djellal, Rembi, Sidaou and berbere) Limited numbers of breeds (Ifilène, Barbarine, Hamra, Taâdmit, Srandi, Draan, D’men and Tezegzawt)

Breeds with Effective number Part % 11.340.000 63 % 1.998.000 11.1 % 63 % 1.998.000 11.1 % 55.800 0.31 % 4.500.000 25 % 48.600 0.27 % 34.200 0.19 % 23.400 0.13 % Cross breeds, with ouled djellal breed specially Reste

Ouled Djellal Breed Ewe Ouled Djellal East Algeria Ram Ouled Djellal East Algeria

Ouled Djellal Breed Algerian Arab breed, white breed Origin Arab (middle east) or Romans (Italy) Sheep steppe and most adapted to nomadism Suitability for long walks Recently, this breed has known a considerable extension in the Tellian steppe and the North Sahara (preferred by farmers) causing the narrowing and diminution of races repartition areas (Hamra, Berber, Barbarine, Taâdmit, Rembi and D'man). It is considered as the best breed of meat in Algeria

Ouled Djellal Breed Ewe Ouled Djellal west Algeria RAM Ouled Djellal west Algeria

Barbarine breed Ewe Barbarine breed Ewe Barbarine breed

Phenotype description Named "guebliya, it resist to hot (North sahara) Animal with half fat tail Its effectives is currently, influenced by Ouled-Djellal Breed the strong migration to Tunisia (smuggling and traffic) Its meat strongly saturated with fat Ability to accumulate fat reserves in its tail, but, Unfortunally this character was missed our Barbarins sheep breeds because they loose more than 40% of their weight during dryness without loosing their fertility, which is explained by energy faculty use in their tail

Distribution area

D’men breed Ram D’men Breed Ewe D’men Breed Ram D’men Breed It's a Saharan breed of oases of southwestern Algeria Good meat quality and a sweet taste (dates) it is a very prolific sheep breed

Distribution area

Sidaou Breed Ram Sidaou Breed Ewe Sidaou Breed

Phenotype description This breed is also called Targuia because it is raised by the Tuareg (Hoggar- Tassili) It seems that the origin of the breed belong to Targuia Sudan (the Sahel) The Sidaou sheep looks like a goat but it has a long tail (covered with hair) The Targuia species is resistant to the Saharan climate and large steps it is considered by the veterinary services as a healthy carrier of many parasites

Distribution area

Ifilène Breed Ewe Ifilene breeds Ram Ifilene breeds This breed originates from Mali, Niger and Nigeria (Uda breed) it is essentially exploited by the Tuareg population characterized by arched nasal bridge in both sexes It's a furry breed and its meat is appreciated by breeders unlike meat of Sidaou and D'man meat.

Distribution area

Tazegzawt, Ham or Blue breed Ram Tazegzawt breed Ewe Tazegzawt breed Blue breed or Tazegzawt in Kabylie and Ham in Mechria (Nâama) black blue pigmentation at the level eyes The color of the head and legs of Tazegzawt breed similar to that of Martinik breed

Phenotype description This breed exists in the entire Algerian territory but in low numbers It is characterized by black skin (hence its name Daraa), brown wool, closed or semi closed fleece the tail is medium to long, the horns are absent in females but can exist in males According to farmers the result of crossing between Ouled Djellal and Hamra breeds very similar to French breed black of Velay Tunisian Black Thibar breed

Material and Methods used . Animal material and DNA isolation: DNA previously extracted in Algeria from 300 individuals belonging to 12 Algerian local breeds, we used classical method with Nacl , Miller et al (1988) . PCR condition and fragment analysis 15 microsatellite markers, labeled with fluorescent dye (D2, D3 and D4), were used according to recommendation of FAO (2011). Two multiplex groups were created according to fragment length of microsatellites (Table 2).

Current state of livestock farming sheep breed in Algeria Sheep farming in algeria characterized by the absence of any strategy of preservation and conservation of sheep genetic resources The extension of the ouled-djellal breed in the tell, the steppe and the northern sahara, on the other side hamra breed extend in eastern algeria, which causing narrowing of the distribution of other breeds areas. The sidaou and ifilene breeds extension in the sahara at the in the place of d'man race and barbarine. The extension of ouled djellal and sidaou breeds was done either by replacing or (mostly) by assimilation, which results in the following effects: Reduced overall genetic variability in sheep because of the loss of a number of allelic variants probably due to the decrease in the number of existing breeds. Increase the genetic variability of extension breeds such as ouled djellal and sidaou especially where the extension is through by assimilation (integration in the gene pool of the breed some allelic variants of similar breeds)
