This chapter was designed to figure out the basic knowledge about domestication, adaptation, and immigration of goat breeds, with a spotlight on modern versus old strategies to enhance genetic performance along with recognizing their role in the livestock production industry with a special focus on the position adaptive selection in view of the new high technologies of investigating genome and building of selective comparison between goat breeds. Also, this chapter focused on goat production throughout the world, the vital role played by goats and the biodiversity of goat genetic resources and the special characteristics of goats under different conditions. In addition, this chapter is concerned with modern strategies to enhance goat genetic performance, including different molecular tools, besides mentioning the outcomes of utilizing advanced molecular tools in goat breeding, as well as identification of candidate genes related to important economic traits, detection of signatures of selection and quantitative trait loci, applied genome-wide association studies, and the methodology of genomic selection. Where the recent findings of genomic studies on goats are listed in a logical and sequential fashion.

“…Ovine (sheep) production plays a critical role in supporting national economies and rural livelihoods globally. The increasing expenses associated with red meat have heightened the importance of sheep meat production, leading producers to enhance both the quantity and quality of their product in order to secure financial viability [ 7 , 8 ]. These factors necessitate the adoption of advanced management strategies and targeted genetic improvement programs focused on economically important meat production traits.…”

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the effects of castration on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in sheep, as well as explore the expression of key genes related to metabolic pathways and muscle growth following castration. Methods: A meta-analysis approach was utilized to analyze data from multiple studies to compare the performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of castrated sheep (wethers) with intact rams. Additionally, protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks, differential gene expression (DEG) interactions, Gene Ontology (GO) terms, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were examined to identify molecular mechanisms associated with fat metabolism and muscle development in sheep tails. Results: The analysis revealed that castrated sheep (wethers) exhibited improved average daily gain, increased tenderness, lower backfat thickness, and a tendency for greater loin muscle area compared to intact rams. This suggests that castration promotes faster growth and results in leaner carcasses with potentially higher muscle content. Furthermore, the identification of downregulated DEGs like ACLY, SLC27A2, and COL1A1 and upregulated DEGs such as HOXA9, PGM2L1, and ABAT provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying fat deposition and muscle development in sheep. Conclusions: The findings support the practice of castration in sheep production as it enhances growth performance, leads to leaner carcasses with higher muscle content, and improves meat tenderness. The identified changes in gene expression offer valuable insights for further research into understanding the impact of castration on muscle development and fat metabolism in sheep. This meta-analysis contributes to the knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in fat deposition in sheep, opening avenues for future investigations in livestock fat metabolism research.

“…In addition, its location is close to Jakarta and other big cities in Java which require a supply of livestock products. Goats are suitable to be developed in various regions because they are easy to adapt to various environmental conditions (Ginting, 2009;Dakhlan et al, 2021;Saleh et al, 2022). One of the goat families currently being developed in Lampung Province is the Saburai goat.…”

The low performance of Saburai goats was due to the limited number of females so almost all Saburai goats were selected as potential stock in the area. This results in a low intensity of selection and a lower increase in the growth of the next generation. This research was conducted in Gisting and Sumberejo Subdistricts, Tanggamus District and we aimed to determine the body weight and body sizes of Saburai goats doe who have single and twin birth types. Data collection was carried out on 62 Saburai goats doe in the study area. Data were analyzed by t-test. The results showed that the average body weight, body length, shoulder height, chest circumference, chest width, chest depth, hip width,
