Challenges
• Milk drinking habit of Thais
• Goat odor in the goat milk
• Lack of skilled labor
• Scarcity of dairy goats & products
in some areas
Milk drinking statistics 2010
(liters per capita)
•Australia 102
•USA 92
•Japan 39
•Malaysia 50
•Thailand 14
Conclusion • # dairy goats and demand are increasing
• Great opportunity of genetic improvement
• Variety of products lead to increased prod.
• More R&D, breeding stocks are required
• Collaboration b/w countries/ regions is the
key to increase dairy goat production
