| The Kiko Name |
|
The word kiko had been used by New Zealand’s indigenous natives, the Maoris, to describe substantial meat producing animals. In New Zealand Maori, the Polynesian language spoken by the Maori people, kiko is the generic term for flesh for consumption. The members of the consortium determined to continue the local usage to describe the enhanced meat producing goat they were developing. Information by the American Kiko Goat Association |
