This overview highlights the significance of conserving the Tsigai sheep, an old native
transboundary breed, and emphasizes the importance of conducting a longitudinal assessment
of its population status. The analysis of the FAO statistical database and the national sheep
yearbooks over a 15-year period reveals fluctuations in the population size of Tsigai sheep in
the Republic of Serbia. Several factors, including bio-geographic, agro-economic, sociocultural
and others, have influenced Tsigai sheep management. The observed population
dynamics show a low point in 2009 with 1788 evidenced individuals, followed by a fluctuating
increase, reaching its peak in 2023 with 5865 evidenced individuals in Serbia. It's noted that the
breed has an endangered status if the total population size falls below 10,000 breeding ewes
according to national and international regulations. Although the population has stabilized in
recent years, this breed in the Republic of Serbia is still categoriz...ed as endangered and
vulnerable. Challenges to the population include uncontrolled crossbreeding with more
productive breeds like Ille de France, Würtemberg and Suffolk. Economic and demographic
reasons, contributing to this with erosion of the population, being a significant concern. Despite
economic factors, the importance of conserving Tsigai sheep is underscored by cultural,
historical and heritage considerations. Long-term supportive measures are deemed essential not
only for economic reasons but primarily to ensure the survival of the breed, reflecting its
cultural, historical and heritage value
