The August speaker at the Mahurangi Men’s Probus Club was Graham Allen, who described New Zealand as a world leader in the production of goat milk nutritional powders.Hamilton company Dairy Goat Co-operative developed the world’s first commercialised infant formula from goat milk, and continues to develop and manufacture a range of consumer packaged nutritional powders.
There are 70 farmer shareholders, with an average of 700 goats per farm. The largest has 3000 goats. The goats are housed in large sheds because in the wild they suffer from worms and problems with their feet. (Contributed)
