When compared to the milk of other animals, goat milk is thought to be superior in terms of a host of health advantages and a lower risk of allergy. To improve the quality and shelf life of goat milk and its products, a number of processing procedures have been used, including pasteurization, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and ultrasound. A wide variety of dairy products are made with goat milk, including yogurt and cheese, Marketable products made by the use of cutting-edge processing methods include goat milk powder, fermented milk, and others.
