Goat Milk Offered as War Aid in New Mexico
STATE COLLEGE N M INS Goat milk is highlighted as a wartime substitute for regular milk due to short supplies. Dairy farmer O C Cunningham of the New Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station says goat milk can replace pre war supply and aid health for infants and invalids. He notes five to eight goats can supply the same feed as one cow, depending on breed size, and that goat milk digests more easily due to a softer curd formation.
