The Podolica is an Italian breed of domestic cattle.[4] It belongs to the Podolic group of grey cattle. It is raised in the southern Italian regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Puglia.[5] It was formerly distributed throughout most of mainland Italy and as far as Istria,[6] now part of Croatia, and where it is now regarded as a separate breed, the Istrian or Boškarin.[7] The Podolica was in the past bred principally as a draught animal; with the mechanisation of agriculture following the Second World War, demand for draught oxen disappeared, and the Podolica is now raised for meat and – to a lesser extent – for milk.[6]
