Short description: Breed of goat
The Thuringian goat breed from Thüringen in central Germany is utilized for the production of milk. It is a variety of the German Improved Fawn goat breed.[1] The Thuringian goat breed is derived from the selective-breeding of crosses between Toggenburg, Harzerziege, Rhönziege, and Thüringer Landziege goat breeds. It is well-adapted to mountainous regions but is almost extinct.[2]
