Goat milk (Capra hircus), of the Bovidae (Mammalia) family. The domestic goat — a small horned ruminant of the Bovidae, browsing on scattered, often bitter forage, which the texts credit for the lightness of its milk; native range: the domestic goat, kept throughout India and across Asia. Globally recognized as ajā kṣīra, ajā dugdha in Sanskrit, bakri ka doodh in Hindi, and goat's milk in English. The part used is the fresh milk. A thin white milk, sweet with an astringent finish, faintly goaty in smell, lighter on the tongue than cow's milk.
