Why donkey milk?
Donkey milk has long been known as one of the most prized and expensive drinks. Mostly in stores we can find cow's milk, sheep's milk and possibly goat's milk. That's right. On a daily basis, a cow produces 10 to 15 liters of milk, goats and sheep slightly less because they are smaller animals. The demand for milk is huge, which is why cow's milk is in the first place in terms of production.
Simple and easy, it is most profitable to produce cow's milk. If we talk about the quality of milk, cows are in the last place. I knew a doctor who said a very nice sentence. Cow's milk is only good for calves. Goat's milk is in second place, it is very healthy and recommended, but it is twice as expensive as cow's milk. In the first place in terms of quality is donkey milk. Believe it or not, it's almost the same as breast milk in terms of all the ingredients. Price says it all.
