Short summary
Our results contribute to the characterization of milk yield, composition and stomatic cell score of local Italian goat breeds (Garganica, Girgentana, Jonica, Maltese and Mediterranean Red) compared to a cosmopolitan (Saanen) goat breed. The dataset consists of 840 observations from 60 goats (10 does per breed) held under the same managerial conditions. The variability of milk yield and composition traits reported in the present study is of interest to preserve biodiversity of local goat breeds.
