Bagëtitë

Bagëtitë refers to domesticated animals raised for various purposes, including food, fiber, and labor. This term, prevalent in certain rural and pastoral communities, encompasses a range of animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, and sometimes poultry. The practice of raising bagëtitë is deeply intertwined with traditional agricultural systems and often forms the backbone of the local economy.

The management of bagëtitë typically involves grazing on pastures, meadows, or collected fodder. These animals provide essential resources like milk, meat, wool, and hides. In some regions, they also serve as draught animals, aiding in farming tasks. The cultural significance of bagëtitë is also notable, often featuring in local folklore, festivals, and traditional cuisine. The health and well-being of these animals are generally managed through customary practices, including selective breeding, feeding routines, and basic veterinary care passed down through generations.
