Malabari goat
Breed of goat
Malabari goats are bred in Malabar district of Kerala, and are sometimes called Tellicherry goats.[1] They are bred mostly for meat, but it also produces milk. Females weigh an average of 30.68kg while males weigh 41.20kg, and their coats are white, black, or piebald.[2] Although they are similar to the Beetal goat, Malabari goats weigh less, have shorter ears and legs, and have larger testicles.[3] There was an effort to crossbreed the Malabari goats with Boer goats, but this practice is controversial.[1][4]
