In 97 % of surveyed farms, products are both for market and consumption. Regarding the sale of dairy products obtained from sheep, majority of breeders sell their products directly, either in markets or fairs (33 %), directly from home (13 %) or trough intermediaries (20 %). Just a little part from the breeders (67 %) capitalize their products in supermarkets. The main reason, that the breeders can’t capitalize they’re products in supermarket is that only 7 % from the exploitations have got products with trademark. 90 % from the interviewed would like in the future to realize at associations level, where they belong, regional products with trademark (e.g., organic). Dairy regional products with trademark are desired by 63 % from breeders, while the meat products are desired just from 22 %. For the dairy and meat products achievement have expressed their option 15 % from the questioned. 97 % of the questionated exploitations practice conventional agriculture, just one exploitation being in conversion (3 %). In general, the breeders knowledge about organic agriculture are minimal (80 % from the questioned) and it is limited at the fact that, they know that using chemical fertilizer and pesticides are forbidden in the case they would practice organic agriculture. The reasons, why they don’t practice organic agriculture are various, but in the most cases is invoked by the lack information (28 %), lack of ownership land (21 %), the documentation volume for the exploitation certification (10 %), and on the same level (7 %) is the low animal effective with the lack of organic feed. The strongest motivation for practicing organic agriculture could be of economic nature (34 %), this meaning the incoming obtained in the practice of the organic agriculture to be superior of which they done in present. Not only the economic factor plays an important role in taking a decision in this direction, but also owning their own land (17 %) and the existance of the organic certificate feed (14 %). In the same measure (3 %) are said to simplify the documentation, the existence of other breeders who practice organic farming, and better knowledge of the situation of organic farming. Regarding the problems of sheep breeders which could meet for practicing organic farming, 31 % of those surveyed do not know what problems they would encounter, 28 % believe that lack of certified organic feed would the main problem with which would face, 14 % think that there would be no problems, while equally 7 % of those surveyed believe that treatments, lack of demand and market products could be major problems. Conclusions In order to improve sheep husbandry in Romania, and especially to preserve local Tsigai breed, are necessary to perform direct actions involving both research and the sheep breeders, and other decision makers, actions materialized in: 1. Establishing dairy premium products, identifiable by quality labels and geographical origin (PDO, organic) and their inclusion in a chain of organic production for adding more value to the race. 2. Improving the marketing of the product by conducting activities to help strengthen the product profile, creating a regional image and inform customers about products quality, production conditions and conservation benefits of the Tsigai breed. 3. Recovery of feed resources on submountain and mountain pastures by extensive grazing with effect on landscape conservation and the maintenance of valuable plant species in vegetal cover leading to regeneration and nature conservation. 254
