<![CDATA[Goat Milk]]>went to Hay Dairies farm today and brought 10 bottles (small size) of goat milk back. It tastes delicious! especially the chocolate ones. I took a brochure back also. It seems that goat milk is a much better choice than cow milk.


(1) Goat milk is known to be more easily digestible compared to cow milk.

(2) Research shows that goat milk contains more of the essential fatty acids, such as linoleic and arachidonic acids and it has a greater percentage of medium and short-chain saturated fatty acids when compared to cow milk. There are also differences in milk proteins of goat and cow milk. In particular is alpha-s-1-casein in goat milk with its softer curf formation compared to cow milk.

(3) It contains a broad range of minerals and vitamins as the nutrional values found in most milk.
Goat milk contains less sodium but more potassium than cow milk.

Goat milk appears to provide an answer as it is found that many who are allergic to cow milk can tolerate goat milk.

The above is adopted from Hay Dairies brochure.


I was wondering why Goat milk isn’t a popular choice when supplementing a child milk diet. is it because cow milk or soy milk cheaper? Hay’s goat milk isn’t cheap. 1 bottle (200ml) costs $2.50 ($10 for 5 bottles). and goat milk powder ain cheap either. a tin of 900g can cost about $30-40. Goat milk is a very popular choice of beverage in some countries, but doesn’t seems to be popular in Caucasians countries.

Goat milk also contains higher calcium and phosphorus content.

a cup of cow milk contains 29.7% of calcium (DV) and 23.2% phosphorus(DV)
a cup of goat milk contains 32.6% of calcium (DV) and 27% phosphorus(DV)

I've occasionally seen an elderly Indian man making his rounds on a bicycle carrying bottles of milk where I live. I wonder who orders from them. There wasnt any cooler and the bottles used are pet-bottles that look like they've been recycled too many times.
I think we saw the same man roaming around and I would not dare to buy goat milk from him. The milk may be contaminated and might cause an upset stomach. It is really a challenge to look for less expensive goat milk in town.

Hay's used to sell them in supermarket, but recently I can't find them on the shelf, why ah? anyone knows the reason? :?


We used to visit Hay's Dairies. They deliver to selected areas.

If I did not remember wrongly, Hay's does not use preservatives. Maybe that's why cant sell in supermkt since the shelf life is quite short.

We can only drink Hay's while it is still chilled, else the smell @ room temperature is quite strong.

Fu Hua is also selling bottled goat's milk. I tried once, stronger smell than Hay's.

Can only get from Prime Supermarket. (Local farm production, limited space 😄 )
But not many Prime outlets around Singapore, lucky if you have one near you that sells. Alternatively can try buying from their online store - http://www.primeonline.com.sg.

goat's milk has a foul taste & smell, not eveybody can accept it as compared to cow's milk.

I find the taste and smell of the milk acceptable.

But definitely not the smell of goats at the goat farm. XD

I was bring my boy to the goat farm for him to explore and bought the milk back to drink and during that period, my breastmilk just increased by many folds. Was wondering if anyone experience that too…

But ever since I found out about their allergy to cow milk and soy, I have no choice but switch to goat milk. Their ezema and runny nose do become better controlled. The taste is not too bad and my kids love it even though I still drink the goat milk by pinching my nose to stop myself breathing in the goat smell. haha.

I also found the fresh goat milk here very expensive. But I was thinking, the only way to make it more affordable is to increase the demand and support of the product. and since the farm is local, we have a better understanding of how it works than any foreign companies. So, thumbs up for local goat farm!

It's a great source of protein The taste has really improved over the years. The brands I bought initially had a strong goat y taste but in recent years , have been able to find many better tasting versions here. Surprisingly, some of the imported brands aren't more expensive than the local brand s. ($10 plus litre).Even found goats milk butter here. So despite the allergies she can still have cakes, creamy soups and deserts. Thank goodness! :imcool:

YES. GOAT MILK IS FOR HUMAN.

This is not my theory. I am not a doctor.

Please read the article i had attached. Alternatively, you may want to update yourself why cow’s milk is not for human by getting the books from KINOKUNIYA book store.

For me, i will leave it on the table till room temperature. Once they get used to it, it may not be stink to them.

I do heat up, just slightly warm.

In the afternoon, i let them drink cold milk.

My son drinks herbal life’s (MLM product) too.

Besides finding it a bit costly and troublesome (cannot go out during delivery hours), the main concern is that it has to be drunk cold otherwise the smell is very strong. I think it’s not good for kids to drink too much cold stuff, right ? Anyone has solution to this ?

I think that's cow milk. The goat's milk delivery service is different and the bottles cannot be reused.

I am of the impression that that is goat's milk too.[/quote]I really don't think it's cow's milk since that's readily available in supermarkets. My mystery still not solved leh. :? who are the buyers.

It is also more expensive - I presume it’s because of the transport cost plus they are not the manufacturer.


Hay’s milk is without preservative (v impt for us), and since we buy straight from the farm, I presume it’s fresher.

smurf,
I’ve not been able to find it at supermarkets for the past two years already. I simply presumed that there wasn’t enough demand, or maybe the supermarkets wanted a bigger cut of the profits? We only bought from the farm in bulk and then put into freezer. I don’t buy anymore because it seems that ds2 can’t take even Goat’s Milk. The delivery service is a little too inflexible for me since someone has to be at home to pay them and they only deliver to certain areas on certain days.

tankee,
I don’t THINK there’s a second goat’s milk farm in Singapore. But there is a new cow’s milk brand in the supermarket these days that looks as if it’s also from a local farm - vishnu cow’s milk or something like that.
