Selective breeding of goats is usually focused on improving the production of fibers, meat, dairy products or goat skin. Varieties are usually classified according to their main uses, but some varieties are considered for dual purpose or multipurpose purposes.

Most organizations engaged in genetic improvement of goats are in developed countries and are working on milk production. France is the leader of a successful breeding program for dairy cattle production. Two species, French Alps and Saanen, dominate. Breeding values ​​for milk, total protein, total fat, protein percentage and fat percentage are estimated and then summarized in an index called ICC (Index Combine Caprine). This index does not include milk production. Recently, by using type score, placement of animal and nipple attached weighted to breast is introduced. The improvement plan of Spain's goat milk production and its composition was planned to be used in local varieties such as Mulcrana Granadina, Maraguaa, Majorela in 1993. This program is based on milk production as selection criteria and is now converted to protein yield and content (Analla et al. 1995).
