TL;DR: This review examines in particular non-pathological influences on somatic cell counts (SCCs) levels as they are unique for goat milk and different from cow milk in order to aid towards progress for establishing equitable quality standards for goat and sheep milk.

TL;DR: This comprehensive reference is the first to address such a wide range of topics related to milk production and human health, including: mammary secretion, production, sanitation, quality standards and chemistry, as well as nutrition, milk allergies, lactose intolerance, and the bioactive and therapeutic compounds found in milk.

TL;DR: Goats and sheep producing milk for people start with the beginnings of domestication and during the last 150 years genetic selection and better feeding conditions led to several superior goat and sheep breeds in some countries in terms of milk and solids productivity.

TL;DR: Most element deficiencies caused reproductive failures, reduced growth and milk production, but high mortality, while the control goats thrived on their semisynthetic but sufficient ration, attesting to its completely correct biological value.

TL;DR: In conclusion, addition of SL up to 30% or CT up to 22.2 mg/kg DM in the diet did not adversely affect growth performance of goats, and it produced lower fat in the carcass.
