CABRA MOXOTÓ

O Nordeste brasileiro conta com cinco raças caprinas consideradas “naturalizadas”. Dentre elas, a raça Moxotó é a mais facilmente identificável. 0 nome Moxotó provém do Vale do Moxotó, localizado em Pernambuco. São animais extremamente uniformes em termos de pelagem, tamanho e tipo. A uniformidade na cor da pelagem é uma característica que as torna facil­mente reconhecidas, uma vez que são levemente acinzentadas ou baias, quase brancas, com algu­mas regiöes pretas. A cor preta é encontrada em uma linha de superfície do dorso, na barriga, além de nas patas e na cara. A maioria dos ani­mais apresenta chi­fres de tamanho re­duzido, e as orelhas são de tama­nho médio e eretas.
