Benefits of Fermented Goat’s Milk
Although fermented milk and dairy foods have been consumed for thousands of years, we’ve only recently begun to understand their benefits in helping fight modern chronic illnesses such as arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric ulcers, colitis and others. The natural fermentation process enhances the nutritional value of raw food. Some of the benefits of including fermented raw goat’s milk in your pet’s diet include:
