Summary

This article was first prepared (1988/89) when there were two Yemen States, the Yemen Arab Republic also known as North Yemen and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen or South Yemen. These two united in 1990 to form the Republic of Yemen. The authors describe the various goat populations in North Yemen, the regional distribution, numbers, flock sizes and production systems; the future of goat raising is also discussed. A short updating note on the goat population of South Yemen completes the picture.

Résumé

A l'origine, cet article fut préparé en 1988/89, lorsqu'il y avait deux Yémens: la République Arabe du Yémen, connue aussi comme Yémen du Nord et la République Démocratique Populaire du Yémen ou Yémen du Sud. Elles s'unirent en 1990 pour former la République du Yémen. Les auteurs décrivent les différentes populations caprines du Nord Yémen, leur distribution régionale, leur nombre, la taille des troupeaux et les systèmes d'élevage. Lavenir de l'élevage de la chèvre est aussi examiné. Une courte note de mise à jour sur la population caprine du Yémen du Sud complète le tableau.
