Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The protein content in goat milk is about 3.85%.
Goat milk is the milk of domestic goats. Goats produce about 2% of the world's total annual milk supply. Goat milk protein is suitable as a protein source in infant and follow-on formulas.
Goat’s milk is better for human health than most Western cow's milk due to it mostly lacking a form of β-casein proteins called A1, and instead mostly containing the A2 form, which does not metabolize to β-casomorphin 7 in the body.
