Rich Source of Calories
Goat milk is a rich source of calories for children and adults alike. It contains about 35% butterfat, meaning it has more fat than cow milk, and goats are typically smaller than cows—meaning that even though someone is getting more fat from goat milk, the overall volume of milk will be smaller. This makes it easy to measure out small amounts of goat milk into cups or to measure spoons so that a toddler can drink it himself without spilling it everywhere.
If a child is still growing, the extra calories in goat milk can help him grow taller, faster, and more robust. Also, if he’s already reached his full height but needs some extra energy or weight gain (for example, if he’s been running outside all day), these extra calories will help him put on some pounds quickly without having to eat much more food than usual.
