Abstract
Proper reproductive management is a critical factor for the sustainability of the sheep and goat industry worldwide. Does and ewes can produce two or more offspring annually, yet routinely fall short of this benchmark. Refined management, strategic genetic selection, and consistent supply (Constant supply of what?) are priorities for sustainable small ruminant production globally. Sheep and goats are capable of survival in a wide variety of climates and environments and enhance agriculture production in both developed and underdeveloped regions of the world. Producer application of best management practices often limits sheep and goat production efficiency and proper reproductive management being paramount among these factors. This chapter outlines the tools and strategies to improve reproductive management across varied production settings.
