What is the lactose percentage of goat's milk?

  1. 4.9%

  2. 4.4%

  3. 5.4%

  4. 5.1%

The correct answer is: 4.4%

The lactose percentage in goat's milk is generally around 4.4%. This figure is important for those who need to manage lactose intake, such as individuals with lactose intolerance. Goat's milk tends to have slightly lower lactose levels compared to cow's milk, which typically contains about 4.8% to 5.0% lactose. The variability in lactose content can be influenced by factors such as the breed of goat, diet, and the specific processing of the milk. Understanding these lactose levels can help consumers make informed decisions about their dietary choices and management of lactose intolerance.
