Description
In mountainous areas of Algeria, like the countries of North Africa and the Sahel, small ruminants contribute substantially to the food and economic security of mountain households (Bengoumi and Ameziane El Hassani, 2013). Changes in the farming environment affected the small ruminant production systems. These changes induced adaptations related to conducting of breeding and production orientation (Dubeuf and Boyazoglu, 2009). In Tizi Ouzou in Kabylia region, dairy goat farming operates in an environment appropriate because of its relief and vegetation (presence of vegetation, forests,). The extensive farming system is the one used in the study area. The herds are of small size and are characterized by low productivity, about 1 kg milk/goat/day according to Kadi et al. (2013).
