Capricare Goat Milk Infant Formula: When Mothers Need a Little Help from Mother Nature

Capricare’s co-operative pioneered the development of goat milk infant formula with the mission to provide parents and caregivers, who have made the decision* to formula-feed, with a naturally gentle start. What began as a small, family-centered initiative in 1988 is now a global leader in goat-milk based nutrition.

Full Control from Farm to Formula

A co-operative is a business owned and operated by its members who work together for shared success. Capricare’s co-operative is owned by its farmers, and goat farming is more than a business—it’s a way of life.

Profits are reinvested and shared among farmer members. They control every step of production - from farm to formula - ensuring a safe formula you can trust.

Superior Ingredients

Capricare takes a unique approach to formula by making it with fresh, whole goat milk that is minimally processed to offer a mild, pleasant taste similar to cow milk.

Just like whole foods, whole goat milk is better (and superior to cow and skim goat milk formulas):

1. Retains ~50% milk fat—and all the nutrients in it

2. Has a natural protein profile which gives it a softer curd that reduces digestive discomfort, and is lower in multiple allergens (and absent in one)

3. Naturally high in bioactive compounds important for gut, immune and brain development

In addition, there is never any added soybean oil, soy lecithin, corn, maltodextrin, refined sugars, glucose or GMO’s in Capricare formulas—unlike the others.

Naturally Gentle Digestion & Lower Allergy

Because of its natural composition and what Capricare doesn’t add, their infant formula naturally provides digestive comfort for little tummies and is naturally less allergenic.

Global Leaders in Goat Milk Research

Developed by the pioneers of goat milk formula, Capricare is backed by over 35 years of research with 60+ peer-reviewed publications—making it the most researched and scientifically validated goat milk formula.

Tailored Nutrition for Growing Needs

Daily needs of nutrients increase with age (with some of these requirements becoming difficult to meet as infants transition to solid foods), so Capricare offers tailored formulations:

• Stage 1 (0+ Months) for 0-6 months
• Stage 2** (6+ Months) for 6-12 months

Stage 2 is suitable for babies from 6 months onward, complementing the introduction of solid foods.

**Capricare would like to acknowledge that breast milk is the best way to feed a baby and is important for baby’s health. Professional advice should be sought before using an infant formula. Proper use of an infant formula product is important to the health of the infant. Infant formulas should be used as directed. The World Health Organisation (WHO) adopted the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes in 1981. As a responsible manufacturer of infant formula, DGC (Dairy Goat Co-operative (N.Z.) Ltd) and its partners support the Code and unequivocally supports breastfeeding as the best source of nutrition for infants.
