About this book
This book covers more than 40 indigenous goat breeds and several ecotypes around the globe and describes genotypic and phenotype traits related to species adaptation to harsh environments and climate change. It also addresses sustainable global farming of local goat breeds in different production systems and agro-ecosystems. Discussing three main global regions: Asia, Africa, and Europe, it particularly focuses on adverse environments such as mountain, semiarid and arid regions.

The topic of this highly readable book includes the disciplines of animal physiology, breeding, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and veterinary science, and as such it provides valuable information for academics, practitioners, and general readers with an interest in those fields.

Abstract
Animal-agriculture production is pivotal for food security, when viewed from the standpoint of inadequate animal protein supplies, increasing malnutrition, and the need for economic growth and rural prosperity. Strong demand-led processes drive animal production systems and trends in Asia. The inadequate supplies are fueled by strong demand-led processes which drive animal production systems and trends in Asia, backed by a rapidly changing external environment.
