The Shaannan White goat (Capra hircus), a breed native to China, has the characteristics of high fecundity and white fur. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome and found its length to be 16,641 bp with the base composition of 33.5% A, 26.1% C, 13.1% G and 27.3% T. It has a typical mitogenome structure, containing 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and a non-coding control region. Most of the genes have ATG initiation codons, whereas ND2, ND3 and ND5 genes start with ATA. These results provide important reference sequence for future phylogenetic studies.
