The Jonica is a breed of domestic goat from the province of Taranto, in Puglia in southern Italy.[3] The origins of the breed are uncertain; it is thought to have originated from crossing of local varieties with the Maltese breed.[2] The Jonica is one of the eight autochthonous Italian goat breeds for which a genealogical herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[4][5]
At the end of 2013 the registered population was 232.[6]
Use
The annual milk yield of the Jonica goat is 350–400 litres. It is white
