The author aims to simplify the complexities of livestock management to make it accessible and practical for farmers. The opening of the treatise establishes the author's intent and scope, emphasizing the importance of understanding the fundamentals of sheep management to achieve optimal results in farming.

He begins with the history of sheep, discussing their origins and classification into distinct breeds, while also outlining the significance of their management for agricultural success. The combination of practical advice and historical context sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of sheep husbandry, wool production, and the challenges associated with diseases.
