Differentiation of native goat breeds of Jordan on the basis of morphostructural characteristics
TLDR
A total of 493 does from 50 herds were measured to identify the different Jordanian goat breeds based on morphostructural characteristics, and nose shape was the most discriminating variable among different pair-wise breeds’ comparisons, followed by withers height then body weight, ear type, color and teat placement.About:

Spatial variation in goat populations from Benin as revealed by multivariate analysis of morphological traits
TL;DR: The results provide supporting evidence for spatial variation in population of goats in Benin and underscore a need for further on-farm performance experiments that will lead to the characterization of these populations on a sound ecological basis and allow formulation of sustainable breeding and management strategies.

TL;DR: The Sudan-Sahel (Mossi) sheep population can be considered a geographical subpopulation belonging to the Djallonke breed, showing some particularities, namely larger body size, due to the particular environmental condition of the area in which it is managed and a continuous gene flow from Sahelian sheep.

TL;DR: It is indicated that a discriminant tool may be used successfully in the field to separate WAD and RS goats and could be complemented by molecular characterization using DNA markers for better management and conservation strategies of genetic resources for indigenous goats.

TL;DR: The canonical and the correspondence analyses showed that the Sahelian and Sudan individuals tended to cluster separately whilst the Sudan-Sahel individuals showed an intermediate distribution but clearly biased toward the Sudan individuals.

Application of multifactorial discriminant analysis in the morphostructural differentiation of Andalusian caprine breeds
TL;DR: Out of 634 adult females of five caprine breeds of Andalusia, it is determined that the differences between breeds, with regard to production level and degree of wildness, were indicated by head length and shin circumference and rump length and the most discriminant variables in groups based on productive ability and cephalic profile.
