Indigenous breeds refer to animal species that have developed naturally in a specific region over time, adapting to local environmental conditions. These breeds are often well-suited to their surroundings and can include livestock such as cattle, sheep, and poultry. They play a crucial role in local agriculture and cultural heritage. These breeds are typically maintained by local communities and are important for biodiversity. They often possess unique traits, such as disease resistance or specific production qualities, which can be beneficial for sustainable farming practices. Preserving indigenous breeds helps protect genetic diversity and supports traditional farming methods.
