Goat Breeds Number Characteristics Desert or Sahel goats Unknown Importted from Chad to Cameroon Kirdi goats Unknown Nain varieties from West Africa are found in North Cameroon.

Cross breeding for dairy production goes on at a limited scale. One breed of cattle called the Bamileke is known to be totally extinct in Cameroon One breed of sheep called the Black Belly is actually endangered. 1.2.3.3(b). Non Conventional Breeding This is a completely new area of animal breeding which focuses on small animal species (cane rats, snails, Guinea pigs, quails, frogs, rabbits, etc (See figure 14) Fig 14: Selected animal species used for non Conventional breeding With courtesy from PAPENOC 2007 Within the programme of the Ministry of Livestock and fisheries, this breeding programme is managed under a project called “PROJET D’APPUI AUX ELEVAGES NON CONVENTIONNELS”. This project has extended its influence since 2007 to about nine provinces and has promoted income generating activities as well as encouraging self employment to the rural masses. It has recently been reported that products from some of the species used for this form of breeding are of great demand in markets even out of Cameroon. One genus of snails Achatina genus constitute a major source of proteins for some tribes in Cameroon. Some species of Cameroonian snails possess medicinal and comestique virtues. (MINEPIA 2008) Some information on non conventional breeding appears on Tables 28.and 29 below. 37
