“…In general, goats exploited in extensive systems are native (local) animals, characterized for having a heterogeneous phenotype, where skin and coat coloration show a tremendous variation, which represents a precious genetic reservoir [7]. Implementing indiscriminating crossing schemes without order or production-defined objectives has put serious extinction risk to these populations [8], limiting the possibility of generating improved productive schemes to help face the current environmental and market challenges [9]. Because of this, adapting selection schemes and classic improvement to small herds is one of the main issues of genetic improvement in local breeds [10].…”

This paper aims to review, systematically synthesize, and analyze fragmented information about the importance of coat color in local goats and its relationship with productivity and other important traits. Topics on current research on color expression are addressed, the relationship that has as a mechanism of environmental adaptation, its relationship with the production of meat, milk, and derivates, and the economic value of this characteristic. The use of this attribute as a tool to establish selection criteria in breeding programs based on results reported in the scientific literature is significant, particularly for low-income production systems, where the implementation of classic genetic improvement schemes is limited due to the lack of productive information, which is distinctive of extensive marginal or low scaled production systems around the world.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. This review aims to summarize and synthesize the fragmented information available on the genetic improvement of local goats (criollo, indigenous, native) on the American and other continents, where populations with these goats have an important role in food security and the economy of rural communities, as well as in conservation of biodiversity and productivity improvement. Topics such as the current state of goat production globally, conservation programs, resistance to parasites and diseases, use of phenotypical characteristics and genomic information, and molecular markers for genetic improvement are addressed. The main challenges, opportunities, and limitations described in recent literature concerning local goats in the immediate future are discussed.
