Abstract:China is rich in goat breeding resources. Officially recognized local goat breeds are mainly distributed in agro‐ecological regions. The population structure and matrilineal origin of native Chinese goats can be used to formulate protection and utilization strategies for these genetic resources. In this study, the genetic structure and maternal origin of native Chinese goats were investigated using mtDNA D‐loop sequences. A total of 329 goat samples from 25 Chinese indigenous goat populations and five introduc… Show more
