The advantage of camel milk is that it is rich in nutrition and strengthens the body's resistance, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to produce, because camels don't cooperate with milking work like cows, and female camels can only secrete milk when they smell the smell of young camels.

Camel milk is high in calcium and low in saturated fatty acids, and even has medicinal value. Camel milk is a very healthy product. Camel milk can reduce the insulin demand of diabetic patients, which is beneficial to newborns, because it contains no allergens. It also proves that camel milk is beneficial to patients with peptic ulcer and also helpful to hypertension.

Once the production and quality control in camel milk reach a larger scale, maybe in the near future, people all over the world will have the opportunity to taste delicious and mellow camel milk. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is vigorously promoting the sales of camel milk in western countries, because camel milk is one of the sources of income for poor residents in desert areas.

Camel milk's industrial development also faces many difficulties. First of all, the producers in camel milk are mostly nomadic people, and they can't carry the disinfection and preservation equipment necessary to produce dairy products. In addition, camels don't cooperate with milking like cows, and female camels must smell the smell of young camels to secrete milk.

The milking time is about 90 seconds each time, 2-3 times a day, and a camel produces 2.5-3.5 kilograms of milk every day. These factors make camel milk's production has not yet formed a scale.

Extended data:

In terms of milk yield, compared with a Holstein cow with an annual milk yield of 8-9 tons, Yifeng Camel's annual milk yield is only 1.2 tons. According to the data of 20 17, the total camel population in China is about 250,000 peaks, of which Xinjiang accounts for 5 1%.

Among them, the peak of female camel is about 6.5438+10,000-6.5438+0.2 million, and the total milk production in the whole year is estimated to be less than 80,000 tons, accounting for about 40,000 tons in Xinjiang. In addition, it is difficult to collect milk. There are few factories with processing capacity in camel milk, and the cost is high.

Economic Daily-China Economic Net reporter's search for Tmall found that the price of imported infant formula is mostly between 0.2 yuan and 0.4 yuan per gram, while the price of camel milk powder produced in Xinjiang is mostly between 1.3 yuan and 2 yuan, which is 3 to 10 times higher than the former.
