The quality of milk from alpine goats raised on the principals of organic production

Ekološka proizvodnja mlijeka općenito, pa tako i kozjeg mlijeka, postala je važan dio cjelokupne proizvodnje mlijeka. Na taj način proizvođači dobivaju certifikat kojim mogu ostvariti veći prihod od prodaje svojih proizvoda, osobito sireva. Kozji sirevi dobiveni od ekološki proizvedenog mlijeka su vrlo traženi- potrošači smatraju da su oni zdraviji i poželjniji u odnosu na sireve proizvedene od mlijeka koza uzgajanih na konvencionalan način. Posljednjih godina proizvodnja takvoga mlijeka postaje sve popularnija među uzgajivačima, osobito u zemljama EU (Austrija, Latvija, Estonija), a također sve je veća potražnja za takvim proizvodima na tržištu, koji ciljano traže određene eko proizvode. Većina farmi mliječnih koza u zemljama EU želi, ili je već primijenila ekološki uzgoj kako bi imala koristi ne samo ostvarenjem veće cijene mlijeka, nego i stjecanjem pozitivnog imidža. Cilj proizvođača je proizvesti što veću količinu kozjeg mlijeka prema propisanim zahtjevima. Ekološki uzgoj temelji se na sigurnom okolišu, 100 % ekološkom i kontroliranom porijeklu hrane za životinje, zdravim životinjama (prevencijom bolesti), prirodnom parenju, smanjenom stresu u uzgoju životinja, modernim stajama opremljenim suvremenom opremom za mužnju.Organic milk production in general, including goat's milk, has become an important form of production, since in this way producers receive a certificate by which they can earn more income from the sale of their products, especially cheeses. Goat cheeses made from organically produced milk are in high demand by consumers, who believe that they are healthier and more desirable than cheeses made from goat's milk raised in a conventional way. In recent years, the production of such milk has become increasingly popular among breeders, especially in EU countries (Austria, Latvia, Estonia) and there is also a growing demand for such products on the market, which are targeted for certain organic products. Most dairy goat farms in EU countries want or have already implemented organic farming to benefit not only by achieving higher milk prices but also by gaining a positive image. The goal of the producer is to produce as much goat's milk as possible according to the prescribed requirements. Organic breeding is based on a safe environment, 100 % organic and controlled origin of animal feed, healthy animals (disease prevention), natural mating, reduced stress in animal husbandry, modern stables equipped with modern milking equipment
