Di Teramo
Breed of goat
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 FAO 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]
