Nigerian Dwarf goats are known for the breed’s superior butterfat content. Nigerians also produce higher levels of protein in their milk than all other breeds. The milk does not have the stereotypical “goaty” flavor, but instead, is creamy and delicious! The website Backyard Goats shared some very informative facts about the benefits of goat's milk over cow's milk. Goat's milk is much easier to digest than cow's milk. Many who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies, are often able to digest goat's milk. Science Daily published an article which referenced research found in The British Journal of Nutrition sharing results done by RMIT, which found goat’s milk to have anti-infection properties that may help protect people against gastrointestinal infections and promote a healthy gut. Here at Riverwatch Farm, we adhere to strict and defined sanitation practices for safely handling raw milk as recommended by the state of Virginia. Milk samples are collected monthly and tested. We also participate in DHIR monthly milk testing.
