The research presented in this paper aimed to determine which strain of Pramenka sheep achieved better production results under the same conditions of keeping, housing, care, and nutrition. In our country, the type of sheep with triple production capacities is the most widespread. Apart from the Pramenka breed originating from Svrljig, the Pirot Pramenka strain is represented in significant numbers as well, and it is mostly encountered in eastern and south-eastern Serbia, and found in the highest numbers in the highland region. The analysis of the comparative results of the two strains, the Svrljig and Pirot Pramenka strains, was carried out resorting to an experimental method on the Djordjević family farm in semi-extensive growing conditions. The heads of two strains were used as samples for the experiment: two-year-old Svrljig and Pirot sheep. The total number at the beginning of the experiment was: 243 heads of the Svrljig sheep strain, and 247 heads of the Pirot sheep strain. The results of the analysis showed that the Svrljig strain of Pramenka showed better results compared to the Pirot strain of Pramenka in terms of milk production, exceeding it by 1.08%, as well as in terms of the growth of lambs by 6.9%, and the amount of sheared wool by 2.3%.
