About goat milk

It's a message that much of the world has already embraced: goat milk is delicious! In many countries, it's traditionally consumed even more than cow's milk.

Although far more cow's milk is still produced overall - especially here in the West, where we drink it by the litre - growing numbers of consumers are discovering goat milk.

The unique character of goat milk

Goat milk the science

Full-fat goat milk is relatively easy for the body to break down and digest. The fat consists of smaller fat globules and relatively high amounts of short- and medium-chain fatty acids. In addition, the relatively low amount of αs1-casein protein helps to form a softer curd in the stomach that passes through the digestive system more easily.

Goat milk contains high levels of important nutrients, including vitamins (A, B2), minerals (calcium, phosphorous) and proteins. The fatty acid composition of goat milk is also slightly different to that of cow milk.

The amount of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid is no less than twice as high as in cow milk. As our body is unable to manufacture these fats itself, they are called essential fatty acids.

Our Saanen goats

If you pay a visit to one of our goat farms in the Netherlands, you will be greeted by the bleating of the white Saanen goat. More than 90% of the goats in our herds are Saanen goats. We didn't select this breed just because they are so beautiful (although their looks did help a little!), but because they produce very good and tasty milk.

We are so passionate about these goats, we even called our brand after them. Kabrita is derived from the Spanish word for little goat or kid, Cabrita. And just to emphasise how much we love our favourite animal, we used the goat as our logo.

Our Dutch farmers

Our goat farms

If you are considering giving your child something new, you will want to know its origin. At Kabrita we take care of the entire production process ourselves. We manage all steps ourselves; from milk collection to filling and distribution of the cans. At the base of Kabrita there are about 60 goat farmers who supply their milk exclusively to Kabrita. All farmers keep white Saanen goats, which are known for their high-quality goat milk.

To guarantee this quality, all farmers strictly adhere to the KwaliGeit protocol. This special Dutch quality assurance system has drawn up guidelines not only for the care and welfare of our animals, but also for hygiene on goat farms. After we have collected the milk from our goat farmers, we transport it to our own factories in the provinces of Overijssel and Friesland. Here we combine our many years of experience in bottle feeding with the latest technology.

Prepare Kabrita goat milk formula according to the instructions below. Instructions for the preparation of the formula are always indicated on the tin and can slightly differ between products and/or countries. Your baby's health depends on carefully following the preparation and storage instructions.

Prepare the milk no more than one hour before feeding. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing the milk.
Boil the bottle and teat for approx. 10 min to sterilise.
Fill the bottle with the correct amount of boiled water and allow to cool to approx. 40°C.
Add the indicated amount of Kabrita Gold to the corresponding amount of water.
Close the bottle and shake well until the powder has dissolved. Test the temperature against the inside of your wrist.

Breastfeeding is the ideal food for your baby during the first six months of life. After this period, it is completely safe to combine breastfeeding with formula. It will probably take a little while for your baby to get used to drinking from a bottle. It is important to gradually reduce the amount of breast feeds per day. For example, replace one session of breastfeeding by feeding one bottle of formula every three to four days.

Goat milk naturally contains many nutrients. Your toddler is currently in an important stage of his or her development. Every day he or she is learning new skills and becoming more active at the same time. This implies that your toddler's nutritional needs are changing too. That is not always an easy thing to deal with, as toddlers can be notoriously picky eaters. We developed Kabrita 3 toddler milk to ensure that your toddler receives the essential nutrients and energy he or she needs. Unlike ordinary goat milk, this formula contains extra nutrients so that your toddler's changing nutritional needs are satisfied optimally.

This depends on:
- Age of the child (especially in stage 1 (0-6 months) an infant will drink different quantities of formula each day)
- The stage (stage 1/2/3 recommend different amounts of formula per day depending on the age of the infant)

You can prepare various quantities of formula per tin.

Kabrita 1 yields approximately 5.9 liters of prepared formula. When used as a complete bottle-feeding solution according to the recommended feeding schedule, this corresponds to approximately 5–11 days of feeding, depending on the baby’s age.

Kabrita 2 yields approximately 5.9 liters of prepared formula. When used as a complete bottle-feeding solution according to the recommended feeding schedule, this corresponds to approximately 7–9 days of feeding, depending on the baby’s age.

Kabrita 3 yields approximately 5.4 liters of prepared formula. When used as a complete bottle-feeding solution according to the recommended feeding schedule, this corresponds to approximately 13 days of feeding.
