Goat's Milk
Goat's milk per litre costs twice that of cow's milk, but that is because on average, a goat only produces between 3-4 litres of milk during every milking session, while a cow can produce up to 20 litres of milk.
Today I headed to Hay Dairies, Singapore's one and only goat's farm, located in the most secluded spot of Singapore that I've been, known as Lim Chu Kang. If you think NTU at Jalan Bahar is far, I can tell you, it is probably at least 4 km further in from NTU. You will see nothing except a long, wide stretch of road that just beckons you to speed, before you are suddenly being clamped down on both sides by the thick, dense jungle. It's where the military people set up their grounds for training I reckon.
Anyway, John Hay, the owner of the 16 year old business said that Singaporeans are not well educated in their knowledge of goat's milk. There are several misconceptions that he finds himself addressing frequently: 1. Goat's milk do not smell the way kambeng soup does. 2. Goat's milk are for human consumption, and anything fit for human consumption is therefore non-toxic to pet dogs and cats. That is if you don't find it too expensive as feed.
I am a believer of goat's milk because it is yummy. And I've used products made from goat's milk before that can only do good to ur skin, making it soft and supple. But unfortunately, goat's milk are not sold in supermarkets because of the difficulty in terms of storage. Therefore you can order home delivery, or make your way to Lim Chu Kang Lane 4 to purchase from the farm. Goat's milk requires low temperatures to prevent it from turning sour, especially since there are no preservatives added. U can keep it up to 7 days in the chiller and for those who do not follow proper storage instructions, don't blame the boss for sour milk before expiry.
Goat's milk are a good replacement for those allergic to cow's milk because of the high lactose present in cow's milk. Just because you can't drink milk, which is mostly from cows, doesn't mean you can't drink all milk. Goat's milk is said to be the next closest to human milk. Now that is very nutritious.
Well, I had an educational lesson today and finally understand why you shouldn't drink milk when you have gastric. In fact, we have taken for granted the word "milk" to mean all milk. Cow's milk is acidic and what the chinese would call "cooling". So it's not recommended for those suffering from gastric or asthma. But goat's milk is alkaline and "warm", so it actually can soothe gastric problems and do not pose respiratory problems for those who suffer from asthma. These are just some of the wonderful benefits of goat's milk, on top of building up your immune system and giving you good glowing skin.
I guess it's all about believing in a product. U never know till you try, so I strongly recommend those to try, before saying no. Visit http://www.haydairies.com.sg/home.html if you're interested. I don't get anything out of this except the sharing of knowledge.
