Land-planning distribution of breeding of sheeps and goats in the province Elassonas Larissa and her prospects of growth

This paper records the dynamics and area distributing of sheeps and goats in the providence of Εlassona and impressed similar territorial units in order to put down the factors that have to be taken into consideration for an efficient development of sheep and goat farming of the providence. For this reason we applied a cluster analysis in all the 42 municipal apartments of the area. The variables that were used concern the number of raised ovines, animal units, cultivated area and existed pasture lands. Based on number of ovines, and pasture land area as well as the combination of them is realised a similar configuration of the regions. More specifically with the last criterion four distinct territorial units are shaped and from the comparative advantages of them the possibility of growth for sheep and farming is determined together with the increase of pasture and fodder cultivation.
