From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Surati or Surti is an Indian breed of goat. It is distributed in north-western Maharashtra and in southern Gujarat.[1] It may also be known as the Khandeshi, Kunyi or Nimari.[1]

Its yield of milk and meat is very low: nannies give an average of 178 litres of milk in a lactation averaging 166 days; kids reach a weight of about 23 kg in the first year of life.[2]
