How does Capricare® smell and taste?
Our milk comes from well-fed goats that are raised in healthy conditions. The milk is then treated gently throughout the infant formula process and so because of this our goat milk formula is often described as having a mild, creamy, and slightly sweet taste.
Why is Capricare a good formula to choose?
Capricare is made from the natural goodness of whole goat milk, that is gently made, protecting the essential nutrients.
Where is Capricare® from?
Capricare® is made by Dairy Goat Co-operative, the pioneer and world leader of goat milk infant formulas. Dairy Goat Co-operative is based in New Zealand and owned by the farmers who supply the milk. Their farms are on some of New Zealand’s richest pastures.
How are the Goats farmed?
The goats are sheltered using open-sided barns that allow exposure to natural lighting and fresh air. Space is provided to allow goats to move freely or lie down. Goats are given free access to their food.
Do farmers use antibiotics?
The use of all drugs, including antibiotics, is highly regulated in New Zealand where Capricare® is made. Antibiotics are used in some exceptional circumstances to treat infections. In this case all milk collected during the treatment period and several days after treatment is discarded. Milk is routinely tested at each delivery to ensure it is free from antibiotic residues.
How to switch to Capricare® from another formula?
The best way is to gradually replace one formula with another over 3-7 days. Start by replacing one scoop of your current formula with Capricare® when making up the bottle. After 1 or 2 days replace another of the scoops with Capricare®, until eventually all the scoops are from Capricare®.
Can Capricare® be mixed with other formulas?
Formula is designed to deliver specific amounts of nutrients in each scoop. It is okay to mix formulas for a short term (3-7 days) when switching from another formula. Mixing formulas for a longer period runs the risk of making feeds over or under concentrated causing potential discomfort or an imbalance of nutrients.
How long has goat milk formula been around?
Goat milk infant formula was first used in New Zealand and Australia over 30 years ago. Capricare® is made by Dairy Goat Co-operative the pioneer and inventor of goat milk infant formula.
What does a GMO-free infant formula mean?
A GMO-free formula is made without genetically modified organisms. This means none of the ingredients are derived from crops or animals that have been genetically altered in a lab, offering peace of mind to parents seeking more natural feeding options.
What is Capricare®?

Is goat milk A2?
