We want to capture the effect of increased meat production on the quality of the curl, which influences the commercial value of the skin. We will analyze the productive capacity of the Karakul of Botosani breed for both skin production and meat production, and the relationship between them, knowing that when you want to improve one production, you do it at the expense of another, for example improved milk production leads to a lower meat production, or a higher milk production leads to a decrease in milk fat percentage, if we are talking about major changes in the productions, because small changes, or changes up to a certain threshold, called limits of productions, do not have major effects on the other productions.
