The Paraguayan sheep farming industry is experiencing growth and transformation, with a focus on improving the quality of animals and increasing local flock numbers in anticipation of potential export opportunities. The meat processing industry is planning to expand, as highlighted by the vice president of the Paraguayan Association of Sheep Breeders, Hugo Schafrath. The sector faces challenges such as low fertility rates, high lamb loss rates, and nutrition and pasture quality issues. Producers are urged to prioritize lamb production and invest in mineral supplementation. There is optimism for the sector, with more formalization and investment, particularly in improving the efficiency and profitability of sheep rearing.
