I don't know what the exact calcium levels are in our yogurt but

there is more calcium in yogurt than in milk. And it seems that

goat's yogurt has even more calcium than cow yogurt.

From the BTVC website,

" Although the mineral content of goat's milk and cow's milk is

generally similar, goat's milk contains 13 percent more calcium, 25

percent more vitamin B-6, 47 percent more vitamin A, 134 percent

more

potassium, and three times more niacin. "

There is some more info to read at this link:

And here is a link that gives calcium amounts in general. Of course

our yogurt will be a little different.

additional:

the probiotic count in nut yoghurt was fine. If you wish, I could

forward a pdf of the test results from Custom Probiotics. The amount

of probiotics in nut yoghurt was as high as in good yoghurt.
