本文分析了当地牲畜品种的潜在文化价值，旨在确定有用的元素，以保护和赋予它们价值。地方品种可以被视为文化财产，因为它们作为历史见证人的作用，因为它们往往在农业使用权和农村人口的社会生活中发挥核心作用。地方品种也可以被比作文化财产，因为它们有助于保存古老的地方传统。为了分析当地品种的历史价值，提出了一种方法，该方法基于一组参数，包括古代，在农业系统中的作用，耕作技术，在景观中的作用，美食，民俗和手工艺品以及更高艺术表现形式的存在。为了评估该品种作为当地传统监护人的作用，提出了其他参数来评估其在维护传统景观，美食，民俗和手工艺品方面的贡献。建议的方法适用于一套九个本地牛品种，涵盖了广泛的农业环境。分析表明，一致的差异，可以观察到当地品种的文化价值，无论是作为历史的见证人和监护人，今天，当地的传统。
The article analyses the potential cultural value of local livestock breeds with the aim of identifying useful elements to both conserve and attribute value to them. Local breeds can be considered cultural properties in relation to their role as historical witnesses as they often play a central part in the agriculture tenures and in the social life of rural populations. Local breeds can also be likened to cultural properties because they contribute to the preservation of ancient local traditions. To analyse the historical value of a local breed, a methodology is proposed which is based on a set of parameters including antiquity, role in the agricultural system, farming techniques, role in landscape, gastronomy, folklore and handicrafts and presence in forms of higher artistic expression. To assess the role of the breed as a custodian of local traditions, additional parameters are proposed to evaluate its contribution in maintaining traditional landscape, gastronomy, folklore and handicrafts. The proposed methodology is applied to a set of nine local cattle breeds, covering a wide spectrum of farming settings. The analysis shows that consistent differences can be observed in the cultural values of local breeds, both as historical witness and as custodian, today, of local traditions.
