Native Breeds

Native breeds are livestock or plants that have naturally developed in a specific region over many generations. They are well-adapted to local climate, soil, and environmental conditions, often requiring fewer resources and less external support. These breeds typically possess unique traits like disease resistance, resilience, and productivity suited to their native habitat. Preserving native breeds is important for maintaining biodiversity, supporting sustainable agriculture, and conserving cultural heritage tied to regional farming practices. Unlike imported or commercial breeds, native breeds are vital for resilient and eco-friendly farming systems tailored to local ecosystems.
