In particular, with the aim of intensive development of sheep breeding, the Ministry of Agriculture has launched a project on the organization of breeding and selection work based on modern technologies. The main goal is to increase the productivity and fertility of sheep by applying artificial insemination and sponging, which are accepted as effective methods in world animal husbandry.

Speaking later, Panah Huseynov, head of “A Selection Farm For Breeding Pirasora Sheep”, said that the work on the creation of a new breed of sheep was started in the 70s of the last century in the village of Pirasora, Lerik region, through public selection.
