Milk from small ruminant animals (e.g. sheep and goats) is attracting interest from consumers, farmers and producers for its nutritional properties. Although sheep milk accounts for only 1.3% of the world's total milk production, it is expected that the product will grow over 26% by 2030. In New Zealand production has doubled in the last couple of years. Asia is the primary export market, where sheep's milk is perceived to [be] more acceptable for those who are lactose intolerant.
