* Values were obtained from Medhammar et al., 2011. Blank spaces indicate that no data were available.
The table includes the results of the statistical analysis for buffalo, yak, mare, donkey, dromedary camel and reindeer milks; the other milks did not have enough data points to include them in this
analysis. Values in a row with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05).
