The minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, held a special meeting on the evening of 10 June 2025, at the Ministry’s headquarters, to formulate a scientific strategy aimed at preserving and enhancing the production of the exceptional sheep breed, El Hamra. This strategy incorporates the latest electronic identification methods for animals, utilising electronic chips that enable the individual identification of each animal and the precise recording of data regarding age, medical history and growth, thereby improving the medical and genetic oversight of the herd. This strategy also seeks to map the distribution of this breed through geographical localisation.

A strategic development programme will be presented shortly.
