The Pezzata Mòchena, known in Mòcheno as the Pletzet Goes van der Bersntol, is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the Autonomous Province of Trento, in north-eastern Italy. It originates from the Valle dei Mòcheni, also known as the Valle del Fersina and as the Bersntol, which since the fourteenth century has been home to a Mòcheno-speaking population of Bavarian origin; the breed may for this reason also be called the Valle dei Mòcheni.[3]
The Pezzata Mòchena is raised in the Valle del Fersina, in the upper and lower Valsugana, and on the Altopiano di Piné.[2] The breed was recognised in 2004, and the herdbook established in March 2005.[4] The Pezzata Mòchena is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders.[5]
At the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as 261[6] and as 274.[7]
