Compared to cow's milk (3.25% fat) goats milk is higher in the following:
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Thiamin (V. B1)
Niacin (V. B3)
Vitamin B6
Vitamin E (slightly)
Vitamin K (slightly)
Calcium
Copper
Iron
Magnesium
Manganese
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Cholestrol
Total saturated fatty acids
Total monounsaturated fatty acids
Total polyunsaturated fatty acids
Most amino acids (all except aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, and tryptophan)
However, goats milk is lower in the following nutrients:
Water
Riboflavin (V. B2)
Pantothenic Acid (V. B5)
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Vitamin D
Folate
Selenium
Zinc
Lactose
Remarkably, when comparing fat content, cow's milk is lower in fat than goats milk, when comparing whole cow's milk to goat's milk, and it is also lower in energy content, carbohydrates, protein, and mineral (as seen above). Goats milk has over 2% more fat than whole milk from cows.
So, taking all that into consideration, goat's milk is healthier in terms of getting more vitamins and minerals than cow's milk as well as being good for those people who are lactose intolerant, but less healthy since it is higher in fat and lacking some other important minerals such as Vitamin B12.
