Of this total, the breeding goat inventory was 2.06 million heads, while meat and other goats comprised 2.00 million heads. The inventory specifically designated for milk goats reached 400,000 head.

It features energy-efficient pumps, recovery technologies, and employs an electric heat pump, showcasing a commitment to sustainable and innovative production methods.
Leading companies in the goat milk product market are concentrating on creating innovative offerings like naturally gentle goat milk, which enhances digestibility and nutritional value for infants and toddlers who are sensitive to cow's milk. Naturally gentle goat milk is recognized for being easier to digest than cow's milk. For example, in August 2023, Kendamil, a UK-based baby formula brand, introduced a goat milk infant and toddler formula. This formula serves as a gentle alternative to conventional cow's milk formulas, using whole goat milk with A2 beta-casein proteins to promote easier digestion. It features a nutritional profile that is enhanced with higher levels of selenium and oligosaccharides, as well as Human Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) and Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) to aid cognitive development and immune health. Free from palm oil, soy oil, fish oil, corn syrup, sucrose, and maltodextrin, Kendamil's goat milk formula seeks to address the rising demand for natural, high-quality infant nutrition choices.
