Quality
A goat breed
of the highest standard
The province of Malaga can boast one of the most important indigenous Spanish goat breeds in the world: the Malaga goat. This breed has many attributes. Not surprisingly, it is one of the most highly valued in the country for its milk production and for the quality of the meat of the Malaga suckling goat. This breed has very good fertility rates throughout the year, with an average of almost two goats for each calving. The ‘Chivo Lechal Malagueño’ is a one-month-old animal, with a live weight of between 8 and 10 kilos and a carcass weight of between 4 and 6 kilos.
The most important characteristics of this breed are its high milk production, in quantity and quality, and its good adaptation to different farming systems, combined with its high hardiness.
The Spanish Association of Malaga Goat Breeders (CABRAMA), based in Casabermeja (Malaga), is officially recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment. It was founded in 1983 with the support of the Malaga Provincial Council and since then has been working to improve and disseminate the breed, managing its herd book.
In April 2021, the Spanish Association of Malaga Goat Breeders published new regulations and specifications for the ‘Chivo Lechal Malagueño’ brand owned by the Association. The new rules state that the use of the brand is subject to the use of the logo ‘100 % Raza Autóctona Malagueña’, granted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
It is only ‘Chivo Lechal Malagueño’ meat if the product is accompanied by a certificate issued by the Spanish Association of Malaga Goat Breeders (CABRAMA), certifying that these animals meet the conditions laid down in these regulations.
