New Zealand's dairy goats are fed on the green and lush pastures of New Zealand. The high quality of food for the goats corresponds directly to the quality of milk that they produce. In most other countries of the world, goats are fed on processed meal and grain.

Among all the animal's milk suitable for consumption, only cow and goat milk are nutritionally close to human and have been shown to be an excellent source of nutrition. Goat milk protein forms smaller and finer curd therefore is much easier to digest and absorb.

Goat milk has natural bioactive factors such as nucleotides, taurine and polyamine which may help to build up the immune system.

Formula goat milk is specially formulated to suit the nutritional needs of children of different age group. Nutrients such as omega 3, 6 & taurine are added for the development of brain, nerves and eyes. Unlike whole goat milk which is low in certain nutrients such as iron and folic acid and hence not suitable for babies and young children. The protein level in whole goat milk is also too high for babies consumption.

It is not recommended that children aged under 12 months be fed unmodified goat milk. Neither should they be fed unmodified cow milk. The composition of the milk is not suitable for young children, and the excessive load of some minerals may place undue stress on the infant's digestive system and kidneys. Also, unmodified goat milk is deficient in folic acid and some vitamins. For this reason, DGC developed goat milk formula which are modified to meet the nutritional needs of young children.

Often there is confusion about lactose intolerance and it can be incorrectly diagnosed. Sometimes, people who believe they are lactose intolerant find goat milk an agreeable product. All milk from mammalian species (cows, goats, sheep, humans) contains lactose, which is the major carbohydrate in the milk of most species. However, sometimes cow milk protein intolerance (CMPI) is misdiagnosed as lactose intolerance. In cases of CMPI, goat milk can be an effective alternative, especially for infants and children.

The sweeties is not a sweet, it is a tablet made from the Karihome goat milk formula.

A child can take 3 to 10 sweeties per time, 1 to 3 times a day. One glass of 100ml reconstituted Karihome goat milk is equivalent to about 15 tablets of the sweeties.
