“…This could be due to the fact that both the Indian and Chinese goat breeds are from the same lineage A (Joshi et al 2004, Liu et al 2006, Kamalakannan et al 2018. Study done in European goat breeds by Hoda et al (2014) indicated that in 6 Albanian goats, the average nucleotide diversity was 0.036 and average haplotype diversity was 0.996. Similar findings were also reported by Sardina et al (2006) in three Sicilian goat breeds with nucleotide diversity of 0.024 and haplotype diversity of 0.969.…”

India ranks second in goat population with 34 genetically recognized and registered breeds. Information on their diversity and origin and ancestry is little known. Hence, the mtDNA based genetic diversity analysis of Indian goats; targeting mitochondrial HVR1 region from 21 Indian breeds belonging to different geographical regions was undertaken. A total of 124 haplotypes were identified and haplotype diversity estimate ranged from 0.67 to 1.0 with an average value of 0.99. The average nucleotide diversity was minimum (0.02) in Kanniadu and maximum in Surti breeds. Analysis of molecular variance revealed 5.16% variation among the breeds and 94.84% within breeds indicating weak phylogeographic structure. Neighbor-joining tree analysis revealed that the maximum number of individuals of Indian goats fall under A and few in B and C lineages. Principal component analyses of the Indian goat breeds revealed that Kanniadu goats clustered distantly from rest of the breeds of the country. Mantel test revealed a significant correlation between FST and geographical distance (r=0.29) among the goat breeds. The mismatch distribution analysis of the Indian goat breeds revealed bimodal distribution patterns. The analysis revealed that Kanniadu is highly distinct from the rest of the breeds.

“…Hasi goat is recognized as an endemic breed (Dobi et al, 2006). Based on the results of this study and results of previous studies on AFLP (Hoda et al, 2014) The phenotypic differentiation is based on traditional selection criteria applied by farmers. Even nowadays they continue to select goat kids for replacement based on: "Reddish color, medium size pending ears, and backward curled horns, high milk productive mothers with good developed teats, as well as the ability to browse high branches" (Dobi et al, 2016).…”

A geographical indication (GI), is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that origin (WIPO, 2012). Developing geographic indication requires a large amount of work in several sectors including applied research, product development, marketing and community development. The BIODIV Balkan project in Albania, have taken the initiative to develop three pilot GI products. The main objective was to support local products and agro biodiversity heritage of the local agrarian systems, crossing environmental injunction for biodiversity conservation with social and economic objectives of rural development. In the case of Hasi goat kid meat, several studies have been implemented including molecular genetics research, morphologic characterization of the breed, identification of characteristics of the product, identification of local pasture biodiversity, identification of specifics of production system that affect quality of the product, pastoral system and feeding practices, etc., that have been the foundation for identification of product's characteristics attributed to the territory of origin. Based on the product characteristics, territory specifics and human capacities, it was prepared the Code of Practice, which is a document that comprises description of all specifics and all collective rules, to be respected by all group members who want to use the quality mark. Taking in account the complex work, and especially the research needed to identify product specifics, as well as the need for an institution to take the initiative for building GI, the authors consider that research institutions should take the leading role in this process opening a new very applicable research priority.

“…Goat biodiversity of different populations is described using qualitative and quantitative traits (Kume et al, 2012), or based on the visible profile (Bozgo et al, 2012). Genetic diversity of six local goat breeds is estimated previously by the use of different markers such as microsatellites (Hoda, Hyka, et al, 2011), AFLP (Hoda et al, 2012), mtDNA (Hoda et al, 2014) in the frame of Econogene project. The present study is focused on three local goat breeds: Dragobia, Velipoja and Smokthina.…”

Goats are an important livestock species in the hilly and mountainous area of Albania. The aim of the study was to estimate the genetic diversity of three local goat breeds in Albania by the use of 10 microsatellite markers. A total of 90 animals were selected as representative of three local goat breeds Velipoja, Dragobia and Smokthina. The molecular data were analyzed by different bioinformatics tools to estimate the genetic structure and genetic distances between the selected breeds. A total of 78 alleles were identified for 10 microsatellite loci. The number of alleles ranged from 4 (MAF209) to 11 (MAF70 and SRCRP5). The mean observed and expected heterozygosity values across all polymorphic loci in all populations were 0.573 and 0.67, respectively. The overall value for the polymorphic information content of all microsatellite loci was 0.637, indicating their suitability for genetic diversity analysis. The populations displayed heterozygosity deficit indicating the presence of inbreeding (FIS=0.143). Global breed differentiation (FST) was 0.018, indicating a very poor genetic differentiation. The Factorial Component Analysis (FCA) and Bayesian based clustering structure analysis indicated the admixture between breeds. AMOVA indicated that only 1.89% of the variation can be explained by the differences between breeds. All breeds display a high genetic diversity, but the differentiation between them is very poor. The high level of inbreeding and admixture between breeds can be explained with the breeding practices, with the small population size and Whalund effect.
