Information about the nature of the international and domestic markets that each emerging industry will be supplying is often neglected. This report identifies a broad range of new and emerging industries in Australia, at various stages in their development cycles. It also points to a number of industries that were classified as new and emerging over the past decade, but are now in decline or—in some cases—have ceased to exist. It is inevitable that some new industries will not become successful and sustainable in the long run. This is the third edition of Emerging animal and plant industries—their value to Australia, all of which have been funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation. The first edition was published in 2005 and the second edition in 2009. The 2014 edition has been extended to include information about international markets for new industries that are prospective in Australia, but where there are not yet commercial producers; for example, the guar and stevia industries. This report is an addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 2000 research publications and it forms part of our R&D program, which aims to facilitate the development of new and developing plant and animal industries that have commercial potential for Australia.

  • Review on Goat Milk Composition and Its Nutritive Value
    Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences Volume 3 | Issue 4 ISSN: 2393-9060 Review Article Open Access Review on Goat Milk Composition and its Nutritive Value Getaneh G*, Mebrat A, Wubie A and Kendie H University of Gondar, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Unit of Biomedical Science, Ethiopia *Corresponding author: Getaneh G, University of Gondar, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Unit of Biomedical Science, Ethiopia, E-mail: [email protected] Citation: Getaneh G, Mebrat A, Wubie A, Kendie H (2016) Review on Goat Milk Composition and Its Nutritive Value. J Nutr Health Sci 3(4): 401. doi: 10.15744/2393-9060.3.401 Received Date: August 19, 2016 Accepted Date: November 21, 2016 Published Date: November 23, 2016 Abstract Goat milk is an important nutrient for humans, especially who have problem of lactose intolerance and sensitive to other animals’ milk. Goat milk is composed of different usable nutrients which are important to their young and humans. Among those important nutrients that are found in goat milk are fat, protein, lactose, vitamins, enzymes and mineral salts. Most of the components of goat milk are greater than that of other milk producing animals. For instance, goat’s milk contains 25% more vitamin B6, 47% more vitamin A and 13% more calcium than cow’s milk. However, available information concerning goat milk is mainly limited to data on its gross composition, and information on the nutritional quality of goat milk, especially important nutritional constituents are scarce. In addition, cultural beliefs challenge the reputation of the advantage of goat milk consumption and the development of the sector, especially in developing countries.
