Goats Milk

I have a Nigerian Dwarf milking and a Nubian right now. I milked the Nigerian for the first time today because I started weaning her kids last night. Her milk is delish, BUT my Nubian her milk is horrid! I'm thinking she may had a small infection or something. I heard they can have one and it won't pick it up on the tests and now that I tasted the Nigerians milk today I know there's defiantly something wrong with her milk. I'm wondering if I should treat her for an infection because holy her milk tastes rotten or something. She kidded on May 21st and I also heard that the colostrum tastes really gross too. Hasn't it been long enough for the colostrum to be gone? These goats are in the same area and eat the same thing so...I'm lost, lol. There's nothing in the nubians milk not chunky, bloody, it looks perfectly fine.

She gave me about half a quart. She's only had her kids on her up until last night.
