Non-Bovine Milk and Milk Products

Non-Bovine Milk and Milk Products presents a compiled and renewed vision of the knowledge existing as well as the emerging challenges on animal husbandry and non-cow milk production, technology, chemistry, microbiology, safety, nutrition, and health, including current policies and practices. Non-bovine milk products are an expanding means of addressing nutritional and sustainable food needs around the world. While many populations have integrated non-bovine products into their diets for centuries, as consumer demand and acceptance have grown, additional opportunities for non-bovine products are emerging. Understanding the proper chain of production will provide important insight into the successful growth of this sector. This book is a valuable resource for those involved in the non-cow milk sector, e.g. academia, research institutes, milk producers, dairy industry, trade associations, government, and policy makers.

Discusses important social, economic, and environmental aspects of the production and distribution of non-bovine milk and milk productsProvides insight into non-bovine milk from a broad range of relevant perspectives with contributions from leading researchers around the worldFocuses on current concerns including animal health and welfare, product safety, and production technologiesServes as a valuable resource for those involved in the non-cow milk sector
