Takeaways

• 😀 Proper goat care during lactation requires higher nutrition to ensure milk production remains optimal.
• 😀 Goat milk is easier to digest than cow milk, making it suitable for infants and sensitive individuals, although it may have a stronger odor.
• 😀 It's essential to maintain cleanliness during milking. The milking process should ideally be done outside the goat's living quarters to prevent contamination.
• 😀 Goats require a proper diet with enough forage. Around 10% of their body weight should be forage, with concentrate feed making up 1-2% of their body weight.
• 😀 Cleanliness of the goat's living environment and proper ventilation are crucial for maintaining their health and milk quality.
• 😀 Different breeds of dairy goats are available, such as Anglo Nubian, Saanen, and Etawah crossbreeds, which are popular in Indonesia.
• 😀 Mastitis is a common issue that affects milk quality. Early detection and cleaning are essential to prevent contamination of the milk.
• 😀 To prevent mastitis and improve milk hygiene, pre-milking checks should be done to ensure the milk is healthy and free from abnormalities.
• 😀 Pasteurization of goat milk is crucial for safety. Simple methods like heating to 63°C for 30 minutes or using ultra-high temperature (UHT) methods can help achieve this.
• 😀 The market potential for goat milk is high due to its higher price compared to cow milk, and pasteurization methods help improve its shelf life.
• 😀 The milking process can be done manually or using machines, with both methods requiring care in cleaning and sterilizing equipment to ensure milk quality.

Q & A

What is the primary focus of this practical session about goat farming?

The session focuses on the care and maintenance of dairy goats, particularly during lactation, including their nutritional needs, cleanliness, and proper milking procedures.

How does the nutrition of dairy goats during lactation differ from that of other goats?

Dairy goats require higher nutritional intake during lactation to support milk production, unlike non-lactating goats, which have lower nutritional needs.

What are some challenges associated with goat milk compared to cow milk?

One challenge with goat milk is its strong odor, which some people find off-putting. Additionally, goat milk has smaller fat globules, making it easier to digest but more prone to absorbing odors.

Why is it recommended to milk goats outside their pens or stables?

Milking goats outside their pens is recommended to prevent the milk from absorbing unwanted smells from the animals' living environment, ensuring cleaner and more hygienic milk.

What types of feed are important for dairy goats, and how is the amount of feed calculated?

Dairy goats should be fed a combination of forage (such as grass) and concentrates. The total feed intake should be about 10% of the goat's body weight, with concentrates typically making up 1-2% of their body weight.

What are some common breeds of goats used for milk production?

Common breeds for milk production include Anglo Nubian (or Nubian), Saanen, Alpine, La Mancha, and in Indonesia, the Peranakan Ettawa goat, which is a crossbreed between the Kacang goat and the Ettawa.

What is the role of cleanliness in the health of dairy goats and the quality of milk?

Maintaining cleanliness is crucial for preventing diseases in goats and ensuring that the milk produced is free from contaminants. Regular cleaning of both the goats and the milking area is essential.

How do you check the health of a goat's milk before milking?

Before milking, it's important to check the milk for any abnormalities, such as the presence of clots or unusual coloration. This can indicate infections like mastitis, and the milk should be discarded if abnormalities are detected.

What are some methods of pasteurizing goat milk to ensure its safety?

Goat milk can be pasteurized by heating it to 63°C for 30 minutes, 72-75°C for 15 seconds, or using ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization at 135-150°C for a few seconds. These methods help kill harmful bacteria and extend shelf life.

Why is goat milk generally more expensive than cow's milk?

Goat milk tends to be more expensive due to its higher price, lower production volumes, and the more specialized care required for dairy goats. Despite the higher price, the market for goat milk is smaller, making it a niche product.
