Lactose confusion

Quote:
Our chickens get the lost of goat when we have extra around. The thing is (as you might know), most Animals/ Humans that cant drink cow milk can drink goats milk (raw being better).

"Although goat milk, like cow's milk and human milk, contains lactose, many people with lactose intolerance can drink goat milk. Why? It has been hypothesized that the reason lies in goat milk's superior digestibility. Goat milk is more completely and easily absorbed than cow's milk, leaving less undigested residue behind in the colon to quite literally ferment and cause the uncomfortable symptoms of lactose intolerance.

It may also be that the patient is not lactose intolerant at all, but instead is one of the 1-in-10 people who are allergic to the major protein of cow's milk ... alpha S1 casein protein. The symptoms are almost identical to those of lactose intolerance. Both goat milk and human milk lack this offending protein."

it is good to give milk as a treat and mix it to their feed but was wondering the French Bresse chicken was fattened using corn, wheat and fresh milk. Might be a good fattening feed to finish about to be butchered roosters.
