In 1995, the elders of the country clustered steadily from more than 5 million sheep. This trend started to increase when the number began to increase last year, but it is increasing slightly, but it is about 5 million ewes (CSO).

The animals themselves produce methane, greenhouse gases. Excessive agriculture can lead to soil erosion and deterioration. Then there is the general problem of animal welfare: It is well known that large commercial farms intensely reap the sheep that attracts flies and pests and damage animals in the process of mowing.

African farms have various structures. Depending on the climate-related areas, mainly agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of pasture animals such as cattle, sheep, ostriches, horses and goats. Mainly domesticated animals feed on meat, milk, leather, leather or fiber (wool). You may encounter a silk farm. Over the centuries agricultural machinery has gone from simple hand tools before the Industrial Revolution (such as hooves), equipment from cattle and horses (such as plows and hoes) to modern high-tech equipment (tractors, balers, combines, etc.) And evolved. Very labor-intensive occupation. Today, most agricultural equipment used on small and large farms is automated (satellite derived agriculture etc.)
