A dairy goat is a domesticated mammal that is primarily raised for its milk production. However, there are different terms depending on the goat's breed and geographic location. One synonym for "dairy goat" is "milch goat," which is a German word for milk. Another alternative term is "lactose goat," which emphasizes the goat's milk sugar. In some countries, the Saanen goat is known as the "Swiss Alpine Goat," while the Nubian goat can be called the "African Goat." Furthermore, some people refer to the Angora goat as "milk mohair" or "cashmere goat." Despite these differences in terminology, all of these goats are excellent sources of high-quality milk, which is the main reason for their domestication.
