Lifetime production of Slovenian local goat breeds
Poljoprivreda/Agriculture, 2015 The objective of the study was to analyze lifetime production data for two Slovenian locally adapted dairy breeds: Slovenian Saanen goat (334) and Slovenian Alpine goat (1105) and for the dairy type of Dreznica goat (141) which is the only Slovenian autochthonous goat breed. Dataset included records from 54 farms.
