Resumo(s)
Goats were among the first animals to be domesticated over 10,000 years ago and are part of human societies since the beginning
of agriculture. Goats play a major role both in commercial farming systems and in subsistence agriculture systems, particularly in
tropical, subtropical and Mediterranean regions where they are crucial for the supply of meat, milk, fibre and dung. This review
concerns the Serrana breed, the most important and numerous indigenous goat breed from Portugal that was furthermore
exported to other regions of the world, notably South America during the Portuguese colonization. Herein, we describe the
origin and history of the breed as well as the productive performance and most common production systems. Finally, we address
the local and traditional PDO (protected denomination of origin) and PGI (protected geographical indication) that are produced
from these animals
