In order to be sure what’s our goals are, we should know how we came to this point and where we stands now

Goats seem to have been first domesticated roughly 10,000 years ago in Asia Minor, Persia and Pakistan
• Ancient cultures and tribes began to keep them for easy access to milk, hair, meat, and skins. This methods are utilized today

The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a domesticated subspecies of the wild goat of southwest Asia .
Markhor (Wilde goat from Pakistan)

Principles of adaptations to harsh environment
• The strain: heat and radiation• The adaptation: physiological and behavioral thermoregulation
• The strain: Shortage in water• The adaptation:Low requirement, a capacity to endure severe dehydration
and rapid rehydration
• The strain: Shortage of energy protein and essential nutrients• The adaptation:Small body size, low and variable metabolic requirements,
superior digestive capacity, efficient use of key metabolites (recycling), skilful grazing behavior.

Environment or genotype? To optimize productivity it is necessary to study
both factors: modification of components of the environment and genetic differences in response to them.
