Description: No one can deny the fact that the cow is the primary dairy animal species to provide humans with nutritious dairy foods through its abundance of lacteal secretion. The goat or other minor dairy species will never be able to compete with the cow in terms of the volume of milk production. Yet, the contribution of milks from other secondary domesticated dairy species to the survival and well–being of mankind around the world is immense and invaluable. Testament to the importance of non–bovine milk is that more people drink the milk of goats than that of any other single species in the world.
