La seguridad alimentaria es una de las prioridades del gobierno nacional y se han establecido políticas que la respaldan, e.g. CONPES social 113 de 2008 y el Plan Nacional de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (PNSAN) 2012 – 2019, siendo las producciones pecuarias un eslabón importante de la cadena de soluciones para garantizarla. La producción de ganado ovino-caprino es una de las actividades más tradicionales en el mundo, demostrado ser una alternativa a las producciones convencionales, dada la adaptabilidad que poseen estas especies a las condiciones de áreas secas y montañosas, así como a diversos escenarios geográficos de nuestro territorio nacional. Los sistemas de producción ovino-caprinos son en general doble propósito aportando tanto carne como leche y sus derivados, además de la lana, la cual es un producto muy valioso en la economía familiar.

Sheep milk: A pertinent functional food
Arpita Mohapatra, Ajay Kumar Shinde, Raghvendar Singh

Abstract
Modern human diet and changes in lifestyle are emerging as a challenge in developing countries resulting to endless ailments. Thus, in modern spectra of human health, bioactive foods play a pivotal role. Under the umbrella of food and nutrition security, functional dairy foods have become the need of the hour. Sheep milk is one of the functionally active dairy foods and it is also considered as nutritional powerhouse. The beneficial role of sheep milk results from its fatty acid, immunoglobulin and non-immune protein contents. In human gut, milk proteins turn into excellent source of bioactive peptides with antioxidative, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory and antithrombotic role. It is also used in anti-ageing formulations and cosmetic soap preparations to soothe psoriasis and skin eczema like chronic conditions. The unique physicochemical and biochemical properties of sheep milk also include prebiotics and probiotics which make it perfect functional food for human health promotion and disease risk reduction. The milk from Indian sheep is relished by the shepherds and their households. They claim that it has many health benefits, but it is an untapped area by the Indian researchers. The major challenge in Indian prospect is non availability of dairy sheep breed, but their milk functional potential cannot be ignored. This review is focused on worldwide work done on sheep milk for its unique functional characteristics.

We want to let you know that a project to update the History of the IGA has begun.

We hope this record will provide IGA members with a better understanding of how the IGA came about and who and what we are. In addition to firsthand knowledge, this document is based on articles by George Haenlein and Warren Foote.

The International Goat Association has grown and achieved much in 40 years and has always stayed true to its founding principles. IGA promotes goat research and development for the benefit of humankind, to alleviate poverty, to promote prosperity and to improve the quality of life. We have worked with researchers and development organizations to determine the production potential of goats and how they can be optimized through best management practices, and we share this information with all who are interested.
