Therapeutic properties of milk from goats (Capra hircus)
Keywords:
Anti-allergy, Dengue viral, Goat milk, Immunity, Medicinal value, Therapeutic propertiesAbstract
The goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is an economically accessible animal and was the first animal to be domesticated. The ample nutritional and health benefits of goat milk are the paramount factors that drew consumers to use goat milk and milk products as functional foods. The superior digestibility of goat milk is the key factor that led to the extensive usage of goat milk as an alternative to cow milk for infants who suffer from the shortage of mother’s milk. Goat milk demonstrated positive health effects, viz., immunomodulating, immunity boosting, anti-allergic, antiatherogenic, anti-carcinogenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-mucousal, lactose intolerance, dengue viral fever overcoming, heart health, nutrient uptake enhancing, prebiotic supplementing and ultra-nourishing.
