The growing interest in goat milk in our country has required the expansion of research in this species, covering various areas such as nutrition, reproduction, exploitation conditions, milk and meat processing methods, and others. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution of goats included in selection works in relation to the total number of goats at national level reported by the National Institute of Statistics, with the following aspects being evidenced: the proportion of goats included in selection works, the distribution by breeds of the number of goats in the genealogical register and their average milk/lactation/breed/region production. The study is of a statistical nature and focuses exclusively on the herds in the Genealogical Register on 31.08.2023, and the results show that the South East Region stands out with an impressive herd of goats, representing 36.16% compared to the Centre Region where, in the selection work, only 2.88% goats are included. The conclusions presented provide a detailed numerical perspective and the potential of each region within the national goat milk scene. These consolidating insights are essential pillars for guiding future strategies and developments in this area.
