The Altamurana is a breed of sheep from the province of Bari, in Puglia in southern Italy.[1][2] It takes its name from the town of Altamura, in the Murge. It is of Asiatic, possibly Syrian, origin. It is raised mainly in the provinces of Bari and Foggia.[1] It was formerly considered a triple-purpose breed, yielding meat, milk, and wool; it is now kept principally for milk production. It yields approximately 65 kg of milk per lactation, with on average 7.5% fat and 6.5% protein.[1]

The Altamurana is one of the seventeen autochthonous Italian sheep breeds for which a genealogical herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[3] In 1984 the breed population was estimated at 190,000 head.[1] In 2012 the total number recorded for the breed was 230;[4] it is considered to be at risk of extinction.[1]
