摘要：

The article discusses the biochemical composition of donkey milk in comparison to human, cow, goat, sheep, buffalo, camel and horse milk. Cow milk is the most universal milk for infants and adults, but it contains more than 20 proteins (allergens i.e., casein and whey protein) that cause allergic reactions. It has lower lactose content, with highest quantity of saturated, mono-unsaturated fatty acids and a higher level of cholesterol, compared to human, donkey and horse milk. In camel milk, Ca content is higher compared to cow, buffalo and sheep milk. Buffalo milk gives higher energy followed by sheep, cow, goat, camel, human, horse and donkey milk. The fat content of donkey milk is lower compared to human, cow, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel and horse milk. Milk composition is not uniform and within the same breed also it varies. It depends on the lactation stage, nutritional diet, environment and genetic factors.
