To reduce the pressure of sheep on plant resources, good nutritional practice models must provide new farming systems and feed management models, which reduce the pressure on grasslands by developing sheep farms integrated in the production of fodder in agricultural crops and on mowing pastures, well-managed grazing and improving the floristic composition of meadows and increasing their nutritional value, by administering phosphorus fertilizers for the development of nitrogen-fixing leguminous species or using organic fertilizers to increase the production of green mass. The good nutritional practices proposed for implementation contribute to the improvement of feed assimilation by sheep in different exploitation systems, because breastfeeding plays a fundamental role in the nutritional intake due to the intake of nutrients from the feed, milk production and weaning weight of the lambs.
