The Di Teramo is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the province of Teramo, in Abruzzo in southern Italy, [4] and is raised only in that area. Numbers are very low; the breed was listed as endangered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2007. [1] It is further threatened by cross-breeding with the Garganica breed. [2]

The Di Teramo is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. [5] [6] Numbers were estimated at 500 in 1983; [2] at the end of 2013 the registered population was 58. [7]

Use

The milk yield for pluriparous nannies is 250–400 kg per lactation of 180–240 days. [8]
