摘要：Last summer I made a British Council Scientific Exchange visit to DDR to study sheep
husbandry and in particular to gain information on fine-woolled Merino sheep. I also
visited archaeozoologists in Berlin (Dr. H.-H. M¨¹ller and colleagues) and in Halle,
scoured art galleries in Berlin and Leipzig for paintings of past livestock, and visited
Erfurt Zoo, which is famous for keeping unimproved breeds of farm animal. Germany has a
long tradition of interest in domestic animals. The first agricultural department of any
German university was started in Halle in 1863 by Prof. Julius Kuhn (1825-191D) who began
research on domestication and the development of different breeds that was to end only
with the First World War.
