ABSTRACT

Creole breeds are an invaluable genetic reservoir due to their adaptation to the environments where they are exploited. In particular, Creole goats in Latin America and the Caribbean play a preponderant role in the development and economic growth of rural communities. They represent a strategic option for these communities to migrate from poverty to prosperity, taking advantage of the adaptability and rusticity of these goats, given that they survive, reproduce, and produce acceptable levels of meat and milk in adverse conditions and environments. For this reason, they are a key species for generating foods of high biological and nutritional value, in the face of changing environmental and climatic conditions. Therefore, public policies should consider local or Creole goats as a priority species in productive support programmes, as well as in research programmes seeking to improve productivity in a sustainable manner in all environments where they are raised.

摘要

克里奥尔品种是一个宝贵的遗传资源库，因为它们适应了它们被开发的环境。特别是拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的克里奥尔山羊在农村社区的发展和经济增长中发挥着重要作用。它们代表了这些社区从贫困走向繁荣的战略选择，利用这些山羊的适应性和质朴，因为它们在不利的条件和环境中生存、繁殖和生产可接受水平的肉和奶。因此，面对不断变化的环境和气候条件，它们是生产具有高生物和营养价值食品的关键物种。因此，公共政策应将当地或克里奥尔山羊视为生产支持计划中的优先物种，
