BM/2015-03-23 / 20 Goat milk
BM/2015-03-23 Goat milk
► Maligned because of offensive odour − Ventilation − Cooling ► Milk production − 500 – 1200 kg annualy in large scale production − World wide average 50 kg/ lactation period
BM/2015-03-23 / 22 Goat milk Nutritional
Only 2% of milk production but tremendous importance in nutrition in Africa, Middle East and Mediterranean region ► Short and medium chains Fat Acids ► Less cholesterol ► Soft curd easier to digest ► High buffering capacity ► High vitamin A content ► Important nutrition in absence of cow´s milk ► Deficiency in vitamin B12 and folic acid – “goat milk anemia”
BM/2015-03-23 / 23
Goat milk Raw milk quality
► High somatic cell count − instability
