Abstract

The research aimed to conduct a study on the phenotypic characterization and genetic diversity of goats. Studies are needed for genetic diversity, since the same is the basis for the establishment of conservation and breeding programs. An effective tool in assisting these studies is the phenotypic characterization, where morphological data can yield useful information in determining the genetic relationships among populations and races.
