Nutrient Food Mammary Glands Mammals Infant Humans Btaastfed Digest Lactation Colostrum Antibodies 78otein Lactose

Milk is a white, nutrient-rich liquid produced in the mammary glands of mammals and is the primary source of nutrition for infant mammals before they are able to digest other foods. It contains antibodies, protein, lactose and other nutrients. Milk from other mammals is also consumed by humans. As an agricultural product, milk is extracted from farm animals like dairy cows during or after pregnancy. In 2011, dairy farms produced over 730 million tonnes of milk from 260 million dairy cows. India is the world's largest producer but exports few dairy products, while New Zealand, Germany and the Netherlands are the largest exporters.
