  1. CONTRIBUTO PARA UM MELHOR ENTENDIMENTO DAS ORIGENS DA RAÇA CAPRINA SERPENTINA. Em Portugal, apesar da sua reduzida diferenciação genética, existem 6 raças de caprinos: Algarvia, Bravia, Charnequeira, Preta de Montesinho, Serpentina e Serrana. É plausível que estas raças tenham origem em animais provenientes de diversas regiões da Península Ibérica (considerando a ocorrência histórica de transumância) e do Norte de África, com possível influência de raças de outras regiões (e. 2016.
