Bovine Milk in Andean Peru: The Need of an Observational Study to Assess Regional Bovine Genetics
Abstract: Andean Peru comprises 63.9% of total Peruvian agro-producers who own 73.2% of the total Bovidae taxa in Peru. Moreover, milk production in Andean Peru has been noted to be linked to poverty and thus malnourishment. An observational study is urged to assess bovine genetics and direct programs of genetic improvement to increase both the income for the farmers and availability of the produce at lower prices for the general consumer. …
