Abstract
The proper nutrition, combine with balance ingredients in diet, according to the stages of goat life are the major contributing factors that effects directly on the quality and quantity of milk production in goats. While other factors although they also play a role in milk quality and quantity production are environmental pollution, goat health, un-hygienic conditions, un-safe drinking water, over population of goat herds in an small area, are less important.
The goat milk contains small fat globules as compared with cow or buffalo milk. These globules helps in lowering the curd, which results into that goat milk becoming easily digestible as compared to cow milk.
It is also found that duodenal ulcer, digestive upsets and asthma patients have easy way to digest goat milk as compared to cow milk. Since the beef protein which is present in the cow milk is the major contributing factor of eczema, asthma and allergies in children. This protein is absent in the goat milk, which reduces the allergy reaction in children.
