How does the nutritional value of goats milk compare to cows milk?
Nutritionally, the two milks are quite similar. There is less folic acid in goats’ milk than cows’ milk. Expectant mothers need folic acid although milk is not the most obvious source of this nutrient. Because milk is a fresh product, nutritional values are liable to vary for reasons of seasonality, type of herd, time of milking, etc. All milk, including goats’ milk, is an excellent source of calcium. Approx 3 glasses (750ml) can provide the recommended daily allowance for an adult.
