Goat products,breeding objectives and flock structure on the Tibetan Plateau

摘要：

The Tibetan Plateau is one of the three most important livestock production areas in China.With an area of 129.3 ×106 ha of grassland,it accounts for 32.5％ of Chinas total grassland area (Long and Ma,1996).There are about 7×106 goats in the Tibetan Plateau,and they can be divided into plateau and valley types according to the genetic diversity (Ouyang,2001).Herds are distributed within the alpine and subalpine regions (N26°-36°,E75°-104°) of the Tibetan Plateau and are largely dependent on the native grassland to survive.Tibetan goats are an important source of food,clothing and income for people who live on the Tibetan Plateau.
