Can you refreeze goat milk

Answer 1

I don't think so, if it's fresh you have to pasturize it.

You can freeze cow's milk, so logically should be able to freeze goat's milk.

Milk is Pasturized to destroy bad stuff such bacteria, manure, etc that may be in the milk. It also destroys the good stuff, such as the nutritional value. If you are getting your fresh milk direct from the farmer where you can see his operation and verify it's cleansiness, milk does not have to be pasturized, but that is a personal call.

Yes You can freeze raw goats milk, just not while its fresh from milking, 12 -24 hours later and its fine to

I routinely freeze my goats milk. We bring out the half gallon jars daily and let them thaw in the fridge. I milk my own goats so I feel no need to pasteurize. One thing to note, sometimes if the milk has been frozen for a while, it will separate into curds and whey. If it smells good, just put it into the blender or mixer and it will be just fine to drink. The milk my kids and I are drinking now has been frozen for almost 6 months.

Answer 2

Like most dairy products, you can only freeze goat milk once. So if you freeze it when it is fresh that's ok, but if you then thaw it you can't freeze it again. The reason is that while the milk is thawed, bacteria have a chance to grow, and freezing doesn't kill these bacteria (although it does slow them down), but they're still there, ready to go, when you thaw the milk the second time.

Answer 3

Goats when they are young, as in kids, drink raw goats milk from their mothers. If you are bottle feeding a kid you feed it raw milk or powdered milk.
