Abstract

Milk is considered as one of the first foodstuffs that are given to the neonates of various species. Mammalian milk composition grants a unique natural fluid that meets the requirements for every single species. Variation in different milk proteins makes each type of milk suitable for a particular purpose. Dairy products are deeming a significant food source for several consumers categories. The most common ruminant's species milk used for dairy manufacturing for a long time are cow, buffalo, goat and sheep. Recently, many researches have focused on some rare animal species which had diverse positive effect on human health. These species are camel, mare, donkey and yaks. This research is an overview and comparison between milk composition & protein types and ratio in different mammalian like human, cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, camel, mare and donkey milk. Furthermore, comparing digestibility of these milk types, and highlighting the possibility of producing some dairy products from unusual milk species to gain the benefits of its biological properties. Moreover, the alternative methods that can be used to deal with the production problems when using the non-common milk species.
