  • Distribution: Surat and Baroda.

  • Numbers: The total goat population in the Surti distribution area is 0.28 m, of which 0.030m adult males and 0.183m adult females. According to the officers of the State Department of Animal Husbandry, however, the number of Surti goats is extremely small. The breed is known to be a good dairy breed and is specially suited for maintenance under complete confinement and stall-feeding conditions. Considering its dairy quality and extremely small numbers reported, there is need for conservation, further multiplication and improvement of this breed.
