Abstract
Increasing the body's immunity by consuming goat's milk is one of the efforts that can be done to prevent the transmission of the covid-19 virus. This study aims to evaluate the nutrition of Etawa crossbreed dairy goat's milk as human food for self-protection from the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. The method used is survey and sampling. Milk samples were taken from three dairy goat farming companies in West Sumatra. Nutritional evaluation is presented descriptively from the results of laboratory tests. Parameters measured were pH, specific gravity, solid non-fat, protein, lactose, and Ca, P, Zn and Fe minerals. The results of the research showed that the nutritional content of the Etawa crossbreed dairy goat's milk was following the Thai Agricultural standard of goat's milk standard.
