    La Cabra Criolla Santandereana representa un valioso recurso zoogenético adaptado a las condiciones semidesérticas del Cañón del Chicamocha en Colombia. Este artículo de divulgación examina las características productivas, los desafíos sanitarios ---particularmente la parasitosis gastrointestinal por nematodos--- y las estrategias sostenibles para su manejo. A través de un enfoque integral que combina aspectos genéticos, nutricionales, de bienestar animal y manejo sanitario, se evidencia el potencial de esta raza criolla como alternativa productiva para pequeños productores rurales y su importancia en la seguridad alimentaria regional.

    Palabras clave: cabra criolla santandereana, raza autóctona, nematodos gastrointestinales, sostenibilidad, producción caprina
