Milk is one of the most common dairy products in the world, and is loved by consumers around the world for its balanced nutrition and easy digestion. At the same time, goat's milk and pig milk are not as present in the market as cow's milk, why is that?
First of all, the number of cattle and sheep is much larger than that of pigs. According to statistics, there are about 2500 million head of cattle, 1700 million sheep and 300 million pigs. This means that cow's milk and goat's milk occupy an absolute advantage in terms of volume, while the production of pig milk is relatively small. The lack of production also makes the economic benefits of pig milk not high, and it is difficult.
On the other hand, due to factors such as history, culture, and eating habits, in some places, goat's milk and pig milk may be considered unhealthy or not formal enough, which also affects their promotion and sales in the market.
Secondly, the cost of production and processing of dairy products also affects their market share. In contrast, milk is more efficient, rich in nutrients, has a moderate taste, and is easy to preserve and process, making it the most popular milk product.
Because the production process of goat milk and pig milk is cumbersome, it needs to go through special treatment and processing, such as decarbonization, which will increase their production costs, thereby reducing their competitiveness in the market.
Finally, the taste and texture of goat's and pig's milk may differ from that of cow's milk. Some people may feel uncomfortable with the smell of goat's milk and pig's milk, which may affect their market demand.
However, manufacturers have now developed techniques to make goat milk products taste-free, which will help increase consumer acceptance of goat and pig milk.
In summary, compared with cow's milk, goat milk and pig milk are rare mainly due to the small amount, high production and processing costs, and consumer taste preferences. However, these factors do not mean that goat and pig milk do not have their unique value and health benefits.
In fact, the nutrients and health benefits in goat's and pig's milk are also recognized. For example, goat's milk contains high-quality protein, minerals and trace elements, and the fat particles are smaller than that of cow's milk, which is easy to digest and absorb; Pig milk is rich in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.
