The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-Cov2 virus has caused problems in various countries, including Indonesia. One of the provinces in Indonesia that has been affected by COVID-19 is Central Java. In order to prevent the spread of disease to a wider area, the government urges the public to wear masks, maintain distance and maintain good nutrition to increase body resistance. Goat's milk is one source of nutritional intake that is useful for increasing the body's resistance from respiratory diseases because it contains certain peptides, vitamin D and high calcium. With this, it is suspected that there will be an increase in demand of goat's milk during the COVID-19 pandemic in Central Java. This study aims to analyze the difference in demand of goat's milk between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Central Java. This study was conducted purposive method, with consideration, breeders who had a good record of the demand of goat's milk in the last 2 years and were willing to be respondents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data taken was the number of collective requests of goat's milk before the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2019-February 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020-February 2021). Two paired data from this study were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test to determine whether there was a difference or not. From the data collection, the average collective demand of goat's milk before the COVID-19 pandemic was 10,244 liters/month and during the COVID-19 pandemic was 22,065 liters/month, thus an increase of 115.39%. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon Test are known to have P-value=0.002, so there is a high significant difference between the demand of goat's milk before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Central Java.
