Field handbook • Scientific and Technical Department ditions with special equipment, including cooling tanks). USDA MAP is planning a project of sheep cheese production, and it might be appropriate to negotiate with them in bringing a consultant over to Armenia for this project. The interviews suggest that there is a potential market in specific white wool for wool processors. The demand on white wool grows annually because of increase of volume of production of wool processing factories, mainly carpet making factories. The meat processors interviews have shown that the factories did not use lamb/mutton in meat products, but they had an experience of making goat sausages. It is worth mentioning that lamb/mutton meat can be used in semi-cooked products. By supporting consultant agribusiness organisations in setting up lamb/mutton sausage – by advising in specificFtechnology usage, lamb/mutton sausage might be produced. Recommendations Results of this study reveal several strategies for the lamb/mutton industry: 1. Different sheep should be bred for milk, meat and wool. It should be noted that the white “balbas” are used primarily for wool. 2. There conditions of milk production should be improved to offer the market high quality hygienic milk. Special cooling tanks should be used in keeping and delivering sheep milk to dairy product and cheese processing factories. The market of Roquefort cheese (where sheep milk is used) and other sheep cheeses should be taken into consideration for future development. 3. A slaughterhouse should be developed to provide markets (restaurants, retail stores and markets) with high quality certified lamb/mutton, with special colour, weight, and age preferences of the market. The packaging will be important. Customer awareness should be raised by education process. Also, receipts should be accompanying the pre-packed lamb/mutton sold in the food market and food stores. 4. A new detailed research is required to find out the usage of lamb/mutton by consumers. References 1. Statistical Yearbook of Armenia-2003, 2.
