| Sumario: | The Lidia breed, originally from Spain, constitutes an important livestock sector in Spain and Portugal.

The sector is currently evolving with high progress in feeding, selection, and assisted reproduction. Not surprisingly, there are several problems that the farmers and veterinarians must overcome such as health problems, the falling syndrome, and the danger of extinction of certain genetic lines. |
