. Goat milk is said to have higher nutritional value, is highly digestible, and causes less allergenic reaction compared to cow’s milk

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development is set to spur the local dairy goat industry via its National Dairy Goat Science and Technology (S&T) Program.

Compared to cow’s milk, goat milk is said to have higher nutritional value, is highly digestible, and causes less allergenic reaction because it lacks alpha-s1-casein protein. Found in cow’s milk, alpha-s1-casein protein is linked to allergic response in some individuals. Goat milk is also popular as an ingredient in beauty products because of its naturally occurring alpha-hydroxyacids—a good skin exfoliant.
