Goat Milk - Pasteurization Temperature & Time Recommendations

[Webmaster]

Posted on behalf of member Asehraou as short term IT problems:

For our ~100 goat cooperative I am helping with, we have just installed a continuous pasteurisator.

Does anyone have recommendation for the parameters (T°C/time) of heating and cooling milk?

Thank you.

There is a small amount of info here but that may be for cow's milk, I don't know if different for goat's milk. Hoping some of our more experienced members can advise.

Also, I just found this article on pasteurization here.

Pasteurization process of goats milk is the same as cows milk. In a continuous pasteurizer, the milk should be heated to 72-74 deg C for 15 sec, and chilled to the desired temp for the specific type of cheese made.
