Summary

Most of the Portuguese autochthonous races have been seriously threatened in the recent past, but some measures of protection (environmental measures, certified products, etc) have had a decisive importance in the conservation of this unique genetic heritage. Well-structured selection programs will contribute to improving its competitiveness, but it will still be necessary to guarantee interracial genetic variability.
