<strong>Milk</strong> <strong>and</strong> dairy products <strong>in</strong> human nutrition<br />

provid<strong>in</strong>g 30 percent of the energy <strong>in</strong> bov<strong>in</strong>e milk, nearly 40 percent <strong>in</strong> human milk<br />

<strong>and</strong> 53–66 percent <strong>in</strong> equ<strong>in</strong>e milks (Fox, 2008).<br />

3.2.2 Composition of milks consumed by humans<br />

The proximate compositions of cow, buffalo, goat <strong>and</strong> sheep milks are given <strong>in</strong><br />

Table 3.1, while the m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>and</strong> vitam<strong>in</strong> contents of these milks are presented <strong>in</strong><br />

Table 3.2. Values for human milk have been <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> these tables for comparison.<br />

Tables 3.3, 3.4 <strong>and</strong> 3.5 show the proximate composition <strong>and</strong> m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>and</strong> vitam<strong>in</strong><br />

contents of milk from m<strong>in</strong>or dairy animals. The differences <strong>in</strong> prote<strong>in</strong>, fat <strong>and</strong><br />

lactose contents between milks from different species are illustrated <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.2.<br />
