It is managed in collaboration with the Geoc , Elvea sud Massif Central and the Lot Chamber of Agriculture . Within Ovilot , we find breeders of 9 sheep breeds. The Causses du Lot breed is in the majority, followed by the white from the Massif Central (BMC), the Lacaune and the Romane. We also note, in order to better meet the needs of local breeders, breeders of Ile-de-France and Charollais beef breeds. Ovilotbrings to the breeders of the department all the services related to sheep genetics through three main missions : establishment of a genetic, health and technical service for all breeders in the department, regardless of their breed Management of performance control, namely recording the genetic data of breeders Artificial insemination service for the placement of AI in the Lot department Monitoring and genetic counseling Health monitoring of breeding farms in partnership with the Health Defense Group (GDS) management of the Causses breed and its promotion The Causses du Lot , native to the limestone plateaus of the same department, is a rustic, maternal breed particularly suited to its territory . To better meet the demand of breeders and the sector, the genetic scheme was built through three groups of breeders: Group 1 : breeders: creation of racial genetic progress by the male route and creation of Causses females from the Lot to group 3 destination; Group 2 : multipliers: multiplication of females for breeding Causses du Lot Group 3 : multipliers: multiplication of females for breeding F1 46 from a cross of Causses ewes from the Lot and rams from Ile-de-France For the breed, Ovilot provides all the services: Management of the creation of genetic progress - Individual follow-up of breeders - Collective follow-up by the management of the male path of the breed, through its Assessment Station for Young Rams (SCI) and its Artificial Insemination Center (CIA) Organization of distribution - Logistics for the creation of breeders Promotion of the breed dissemination of sheep genetics to breeders in the area The ewes are crossed with rams of beef breeds (mainly Berrichon du Cher) in order to supply the Gramat slaughterhouse with quality lambs (red label Agneaux fermiers du Quercy ). Females route - Diffusion of lambs based on the racial pattern: Causses du Lot or F1 46 - Diffusion of lambs from other requested breeds: BMC, Lacaune, Romane… Male route - Diffusion of rams or doses of AI of the breed causses du Lot - Distribution of rams Ile-de-France for the creation of F1 46 - Centralization of needs, grouping and collective purchase of rams butchers for breeders More info on Ovilot Director of Ovilot, Luc Rives Tel. 06.15.34.48.04.
