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 products
- Provides insight into non-bovine milk from a broad range of relevant perspectives with contributions from leading researchers around the world
- Focuses on current concerns including animal health and welfare, product safety, and production technologies
- Serves as a valuable resource for those involved in the non-cow milk sector
Researchers studying non-bovine milk and milk products in both industry and academia; dairy science students and professors
