The difference between goat's milk powder and cow's milk powder is as follows

1, protein

The protein content in cow's milk is richer, but the protein content in goat's milk is closer to breast milk. The main proteins in cow's milk and goat's milk are casein and whey protein. The ratio of casein to whey protein is about 80:20 in cow's milk, 65:35 in goat's milk, and 60:40 in breast milk.

Goat's milk is closer to breast milk in terms of casein and whey protein. Although cow's milk is high in protein, it is also less easily absorbed because the protein molecules are larger. The protein molecules in goat's milk are relatively small and easily absorbed.

2, fat

Cow's milk fat content of 3.2g/100g, goat's milk 3.5g/100g, breast milk 3.4g/100g. goat's milk fat content is higher and closer to breast milk, goat's milk fat is mainly composed of short-chain fatty acids. The fat globules are much smaller than cow's milk, and the lipase in the gastric juice contacts the fat globules in a large area for fast digestion and absorption.

3, sugar

Milk sugar is mostly lactose, accounting for 4.9% of the weight of cow's milk; in addition to lactose, cow's milk also contains a small amount of glucose, galactose and other sugars. The sugars in goat's milk are also dominated by lactose and galactose.

However, because the lactose particles in goat's milk are smaller, and because goat's milk contains a large amount of adenosine triphosphate, which is able to fully break down the lactose in goat's milk, drinking goat's milk lactose intolerance is much smaller than cow's milk.

4, vitamin

Cow's milk and goat's milk are rich in vitamins (such as vitamin A, B1, B2, C, D). The content of vitamin A and D per 100g of goat's milk is 3-4 times higher than that of cow's milk, but the content of folic acid in goat's milk is less, 1/5 of that of cow's milk.

5, minerals

Cow's milk and goat's milk are comparable to the mineral content, the total content of 0.7% and 0.72%, respectively, while breast milk has a total content of only 0.3%. Goat's milk calcium and phosphorus content are higher than cow's milk and breast milk.

6, acidic and alkaline

Cow's milk is acidic, goat's milk is alkaline.

With the advancement of milk powder production process, the nutritional value of cow's milk powder and goat's milk powder on the market is not much different, if it is a goat stocked in the mountainous areas, because of the different aspects of the mountainous areas of the grass of the water source, the goat's milk and the trace elements in the milk will be different.

Extended information:

Sheep's milk dry matter content is basically similar to cow's milk or slightly higher. Calories per kilogram of goat's milk are 210 kilojoules higher than cow's milk. Fat: goat's milk fat content of 3.6% -4.5%, fat globules diameter of about 2 microns, milk fat globules diameter of 3-4 microns. Goat's milk is rich in short-chain fatty acids, and low-level volatile fatty acids account for about 25% of all fatty acids, compared to less than 10% in cow's milk. The small diameter of goat milk fat globules makes it easy to digest and absorb.

Goat milk protein is mainly casein and whey protein. Goat's milk, cow's milk, human milk, the casein to whey protein ratio is roughly 75:25 (goat's milk), 85:15 (cow's milk), 60:40 (human milk).

It can be seen that goat's milk has a lower casein content than cow's milk and a higher whey protein content, close to that of human milk. Casein in the role of gastric acid can form a larger coagulum, the higher the content of protein digestion is lower, so the digestibility of goat's milk protein is higher than cow's milk.
