Milk quality is compromised by goat diseases as well as poor product handling and hygiene. Contaminated milk can cause foodborne diseases but also make the milk unsuitable for further processing such as fermentation. Training farmers on sources of milk contamination including recognizing udder infection, and simple good hygienic practices can lead to benefits.
