      abstract = {Neotropical wildlife has gained much interest in  sustainable food production. The use of several
indigoes  species in food consumption. There is significant increase  of food import from developed
countries to developing  countries. The cost of grains on the international market  are increasing.
Exportation of food from developed  countries to developing countries are decreasing. So there  is
a need to investigate indigenous flora and fauna for  food. The Caribbean is a net importer of food.
It has an  opportunity to develop local flora and fauna for food.  Indigenous species of plant and
animals are not fully  understood/investigated. Indigenous species are well  adapted to the
environmental conditions of the tropics. The  neotropics has 70% of world biodiversity, 604 species
of  birds, 502 species of reptiles, 140 species of amphibians  and 89 species of mammals (Ojasti
1996; Garcia 2008). All  the meat that are nowadays consumed, comes from animals  that were once
wild such as: the Muscovy duck, Turkey and  Guinea Pig all originate in this part of the world.},
