About the project

To preserve the Istrian goat, the plan is to utilize all available tools with the unique goal of preventing the loss of the breed. First and foremost, breed consolidation is needed due to the small number of individuals. This measure will be coordinated by the AZRRI Agency for Rural Development of Istria in collaboration with HAPIH - the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food, as well as with the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Zagreb.
