Goat milk and sheep milk are gaining strong consumer interest because of their perceived better nutrition and digestion properties. However, relatively little scientific research has been conducted to demonstrate how the digestion behaviour of goat and sheep milk differs from that of cow milk.

Debashree Roy, a Riddet Institute researcher investigated the dynamics of digestion of cow, goat and sheep milk using an artificial stomach model (a human gastric simulator). She studied the phenomenon of curd formation in these milks in the stomach and explored the potential implications of curd structure in the delivery of nutrients to small intestine during digestion. She has shown that similar to cow milk, goat and sheep milk form a curd (coagulated caseins) and liquid phase (soluble nutrients such as whey) during digestion.

The knowledge generated will help to develop value-added milk products with scientifically validated nutritional and health outcomes for different age groups.

In November 2015 Anthony Sheppard managed a drystock – and then a dairy farm for Antara Ag in Invercargill. Anthony is currently working as Dairy manager for Spring Sheep milk Co at their largest operation.

"I feel so lucky to be part of such an exciting and innovative industry, it’s great to now see other farmers deciding to convert their farms to sheep dairy and grow Spring Sheep’s milk pool".

You can’t fake passion. I don’t have a job – farming’s just what I do!

In the latest issue of Goat and Sheep Milk NZ, AgResearch post-doctoral scientist Melissa Hempstead explains the importance of knowing the differences that exist between the species, to reduce the risk of potential detrimental effects such as brain injury.
