Tridge summary

A researcher at Embrapa Caprinos e Ovinos, Izabel Carneiro, has initiated a project titled ‘Caravan milk goat and sheep’ to promote the production of goat and sheep milk in Brazil. The project, in partnership with Caseum Queijos, aims to spread awareness about these sectors and their benefits through various means, including product tastings and online events. The project has already resulted in the inclusion of goat and sheep milk in a bill aimed at promoting milk consumption. Brazil ranks among the top producers of goat milk, primarily in the Northeast, with the world's production largely concentrated in India, Sudan, and Bangladesh. Sheep milk production is predominantly in China, Turkey, and Greece. However, in Brazil, sheep's milk consumption is low due to limited production, with cheeses, yogurt, and dulce de leche being the main products consumed.
