Compared with other types of milk, goat milk is relatively rich in valuable nutrients and offers numerous health benefits due to its high concentrations of bioactive compounds. Therefore, goat milk has been shown in various human studies to have numerous effects, such as antithrombotic, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, allergy-regulating, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, lipid-lowering, and anti-cancer properties. In addition, goat milk has a high level of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, a favorable nutritional profile, a buffering capacity, lower allergenicity, higher digestibility than cow milk, and potential therapeutic benefits. To increase milk production and furthermore improve the quality and food safety of raw goat milk, it is necessary to use appropriate milking procedures and goat milking machine equipment. Such beneficial measures can prevent dirt or microbial contamination of raw goat milk and subsequently lead to clean production of goat milk and colostrum preparations to prevent human diseases. In conclusion, given the importance of goat milk and the associated health benefits of its bioactive constituents, improvements in the milking process, general milking hygiene, and subsequent storage, refrigeration, and transport conditions are needed to ensure that the quality of goat milk meets the requirements for human consumption.
