Milking a goat?.
The goat is more efficient than the cow at producing milk.
1) Nguni (and Zulu) people are probably the only African population who are not taking advantages of milking goats . Namibian, Tanzanian, Chad, Mauritania... all around Africa there are people milking goats. The most significant goat races are Namibian and Nubian... the Nguni goat race has lost that potencial.
- In comparison with cow’s milk, the milk from a goat is more diggestive and largely recomended to elders and baby children.
- The goat milk molecule is smaller, like human milk, unlike larger cow milk molecule that can cause problems in small or weak digestive systems.
- It has 13% more calcium and 50% more vitamins. It has even more fat and proteins.
- The goat produces more milk per animal/Kg and per Food/Kg than any other cattle animal.
It is for the reasons above that using milk goats is the most convenient way to improve nutritional conditions in vulnerable families with special needs in rural areas.
