The Awang sheep (Chinese: 昌都阿旺绵羊, 阿旺绵羊) is a distinctive livestock species of the Chamdo, representing a domesticated variety of the purebred plateau wild brown sheep from Tibet, dating back 2,640 years.

Feature

Following an extended period of closed breeding, traditional natural selection, and selective breeding, Awang sheep, characterized by superior skin, soft meat, distinctive flavor, and absence of odor, have gained widespread popularity both regionally and internationally. Changdu Awan sheep graze in a snowy plateau characterized by low oxygen levels, at an elevation of over 4000 meters, in a natural and pollution-free environment. Its meat is abundant in amino acids and has a low cholesterol level, featuring a protein content of 21.96%, which is 2-3% greater than that of conventional sheep, categorizing it as a high-protein diet.

In 2020, Tianjin allocated 55 million yuan to facilitate a collaborative initiative with Chamdo to establish an embryo center for Awang sheep. In October 2021, the Awang sheep was included in the national inventory of livestock and poultry genetic resources (Chinese: 国家畜禽遗传资源名录). In 2023, Chamdo Awang sheep obtained the national geographical indication and ISO quality system certification.
