Meanings

1. (uncountable, usually) Milk that is produced by goats.
   • It is often difficult to obtain clean fresh goat’s milk. Proprietary canned goat’s milks are on the market. 1937, J[ohn] P[rice] Crozer Griffith, A[lbert] Graeme Mitchel, “Artificial Feeding in the First Year”, in The Diseases of Infants and Children, 2nd edition, Philadelphia, Pa.; London: W[alter] B[urns] Saunders Company, →OCLC, page 81:
   • Goat’s milk is in fact more similar to human milk than cow’s milk, but it is still unmodified and should never be given to a baby under six months. Some goat’s milks are unpasteurized and should not be given to young children because of the risk of bacterial infection in a baby whose immune system is still not fully developed. If you do give unpasteurized goat’s milk to a child under one it should be boiled first. 1998, Maggie Jones, “Diet”, in Eczema: Practical and Easy-to-Follow Advice (Your Child), Shaftesbury, Dorset: Element, →ISBN, page 37:
   • Commercial-scale quantities of evaporated and spray-dried powder goat’s milks are produced in the United States and elsewhere. However, little information is available on nutritional and manufacturing parameters of butter, condensed, evaporated and dried milks from goat’s milk. 1993, Young W. Park, “Goat: Milk”, in R[obert] Macrae, R[ichard] K[enneth] Robinson, M[ichèle] J. Sadler, editors, Encyclopaedia of Food Science, Food Technology and Nutrition, volume 4 (Fumigants–Malnutrition), London: Academic Press, →ISBN, page 2242, column 1:
