According to USDA, the calcium content of 1 glass (~250ml) of goat's milk is 327mg, compared to 300mg from cow's milk of the same amount. Numbers however may vary according to processes, production and other factors. In reference, the calcium need of children between 4 to 6 hovers around 1000mg. Two (2) glasses of either milk per day, along with incorporations of other food may provide the necessary calcium amount for the proper development and maintenance of children's bone health. Discuss with your dietitians healthcare professional for further details on how to ensure your child's calcium requirement is met efficiently.
